I don't understand the need for the AFL to surrender use of Carrara with a capacity of 25,000, during the (potential) WC. When there is just down the road, Skilled Park, with a capacity of 27,400 which is better suited to viewing soccer. And I'd think more easily upgraded (permanently or temporarily) to the 40,000 (min) seats needed by FIFA.

I can only guess that somehow the AFL has extracted a major upgrade as a concession.

I gather that the Robina rectangular stadium (Titans/GCU) is unable to be extended to the 40,000+ required. Doesn't have the room or foundations or something like that.

re Carrara, there's been talk of a Brisbane C'wealth games bid (or even Olympic)......being part justification along with the lure of a venue able to host T20 cricket......that and the WC soccer unlocks Fed funds and helps justify an AFL venue on the Gold Coast without too much 'bias' claims about Victorians on Gold Coast City council.
