    Have they decided on a design yet or do we still have to suffer through that?

                @taniwharugby Still just Artist's Impressions. We are a long way away from a design, what with the roof and all.

                This is only the beginning of the AMI Jade Paul Kelly Newton Dodge Horncastle Felchers Clusterfuck Downtown Stadium saga.

                  Why isn't the whole site a nice grassy park for the next 15 years until it's built? It's right in town!

                  Why not do it in Addington where there's already parking and motorway access and just a KM from town?

                  Or drill deep at Lancaster Park, a place of Mana and Tapu?

                    Let's face it, Addington will be where the Commonwealth Games will be based.

                          I can't back any of this up but just a story I heard when down there over the weekend.

                          A guy that has the demo contract (I think) who is in the racing industry (hence how I was told) said the council already have the land and it is near where Lancaster Park already is and in a zone with no parking. It seems that the place selected is in a hopeless Zone for access etc.

                          I was told the area but it didn';t stick with me.

                          I hope this isn't a wasted opportunity by the council as if done right the stadium can be a centre hub for a shopping precinct and restaurants etc. It needs parking for that to happen though

                            Everyone has known where it’s going to be built for some time, in my opinion it’s a great place (close to the inner city bars, shopping etc)

                            Of course parking will be at a premium if you are building it in the central city. Who the fuck cares.

                              Isn't it on similar land to Lancaster Park?

                              I didn't actually pick up on that this place was central city as I don't recognise the names of the areas. If it is central city then that makes sense.

                                It's a bit closer to the central city than lancaster, not right in the middle but an easy 5 minute walk.

                                  City fringe should have no parking at all IMO. Eden Park has zero and still sells out - even though its apparently a gazillion kms outside town

                                    Fuck all parking around Suncorp Stadium and that packs out ~52K. It's about five minutes walk from the Paddo tavern and less than that from Caxton Street (bars and restaurants).

                                      Fuck all parking around Suncorp Stadium and that packs out ~52K. It's about five minutes walk from the Paddo tavern and less than that from Caxton Street (bars and restaurants).

                                      it's a short walk from a lot of places to pre-game. And with the free transport, getting there and back is a piece of piss.

                                      Good stadium, except for the surface, and the beer choice
