Major new footy stadium to be built in Perth

Well overdue and great news especially for WCE. If they continue up the ladder they could become a mega-club again in terms of sponsorship and crowds - they already have that huge waiting list for season tickets.

Sad that WA will go from Subiaco at about 43,500 to 60,000 with expansion ability to 70,000 whereas SA is going from AAMI Stadium at 51,515 seated to Adelaide Oval at 50,000 seated. In their hey day the demand for Crows season tickets was like WCE's is now, if you don't service those people they drop off eventually. Hopefully the Adelaide Oval design lives up to its promise (personally I have concerns that with high stand roofs a big % of the crowd will get in winter and it may become considered a $500 million lemon).

Interesting that the WA stadium will supposedly be styled on Etihad Stadium yet not have a roof.

Next up we should be hearing about the upgrade of the ground GWS Giants will use in Sydney, an upgrade to the Showgrounds oval (for some home games, whilst their training ground will remain at Blacktown and their big matches probably at the Olympic stadium... ANZ Stadium).

With Metricon Stadium delivered at Carrarra on the Gold Coast that's a lot of footy infrastructure in a short space of time.

A new stadium for Perth is fantastic news and the Burswood site is part of the Eastern Gateway government focus but for the stadium itself there is little information .The stadium design will be openned to competition and the ground parameters etc have not been announced .So far ,most comment has been based on an older proposal which is longer applicable .
