Well done Albo. $240m for what should be called the Royce Hart Stadium.
Now there's an idea to warm the cockles of the old Tiger ticker.$240m for what should be called the Royce Hart Stadium.
Gilmour as well.Now there's an idea to warm the cockles of the old Tiger ticker.
Just out of curiosity though, how the hell are they gunna build enough naming stands to honour the legendary Taswegian players???
The Doc, Hart, Stewart, Huddo, Disco, the Riewoldts, Tiger, Rocket, Lawrence etc.
So who exactly owns & operates the new $tadium?
I would hope the Taswegian Govt. would be the "Owner" IE: the Tassie people.
Also as part of this package, a $130mil upgrade to York Park (UTas Stadium) in Launceston has been announced. Hence, the Tasmanian team will be playing between both venues which will have roughly the same capacity.
Shocking newsGreat news and long overdue
This is my disconnect.Whoever 'owns' it on paper,
the taxpayer will pay all the bills and the AFL cartel will take all the profits
I always joked that a Tasmanian stadium would only please everyone if it is built in a paddock in the demilitarised zone, also known as the of the Cascade-Boags demarcation line, at the 42nd parallel.Thats sounds like a really dumb idea.
Pick a town and play and stay there.
Blend a 50/50 cascade/boags to serve at games, if you have to,
But dont treat the footy club like a kid in a custody battle
Give them the best chance of onfield success,

Tunbridge mate. Perfect location. Just off the Midlands highway near the Blackman River (terrible name). Better parking than at the MCG.Yes the Tassie wombats based 1/2 way between Campbell town and Oatlands - plenty of parking available.
Think of all the tourists who would attend - 100% cause no one bloody lives there ……………….. hmmm, apart from albino wallabies and the two headed devils…….
What an appalling attempt to placate Tasmanian fans sensitivities.Also as part of this package, a $130mil upgrade to York Park (UTas Stadium) in Launceston has been announced. Hence, the Tasmanian team will be playing between both venues which will have roughly the same capacity.
$130 million upgrade confirmed for Launceston stadium
Another big win for footy in Tasmania!www.zerohanger.com
Interestingly a new basketball arena is proposed as part of the York Park enhancements, sitting next door to the football stadium. Hence that also consolidates the Jackjumpers playing at both ends of the state.
If you build it, they will come.What an appalling attempt to placate Tasmanian fans sensitivities.
Yes, let’s overpay for a 22,000 seat stadium, but why stop there when you can blow more cash in the current financial climate to upgrade an existing stadium.
