Re: Could 'super stadium' be on cards for Canberra?
That players walk through the members / VIP area as they enter the Bankwest Stadium is pretty cool. Nice touch....unless you’re going back on for the second half down by 40.

I can't wait for the new Parra stadium to open. I only live 25 mins away. Have tickets to the Parra/Tigers christening and also our game against the Tigers

Re: Grounds for concern: Could 'super stadium' be on cards for Canberra?
Late response, I know, but:
Nobody in the ice sports community actually wants a multi-level skating rink. We want a single-level rink with two ice surfaces, since Phillip is derelict and badly needs replacing. We have national champions in both ice hockey and figure skating and there is simply not enough room for both sports on the existing single-surface facility (let alone including broomball). Trying to squeeze both hockey and figure skating events in is a logistical nightmare that involves significant negotiation between the sports and both of them suffering for it.
The inclusion of the multi-level facility in the paper thingo was nothing short of an attempt to give the government an excuse not to build or fund. There are very few multi-level facilities even in big skating countries like the US, Canada and Russia. They're not very practical. (Though there is a cool one in Finland where the main arena is on top...and the practice rink below...in a natural cave.)
Even the price tags in the paper seemed inflated and unrealistic.
Phillip is dangerous and needs replacing. Badly. It wouldn't be so hard. They could even buy an existing building and go from there to save costs - the abandoned Home Hardware in Gungahlin would be about the right size for a two-surface facility.

Re: Could 'super stadium' be on cards for Canberra?

Pretty reasonable I reckon. Includes free public transport. Also food and drinks will be cheaper than other stadiums.
I really think they're doing this right. Hope we get lots of Raiders fans making the trip for the Tigers game.

Calls to get Civic Stadium back on track
Canberra might have grown up, but it risks falling behind the rest of Australia without a new Civic Stadium. The stunning opening of the rebuilt Parramatta Stadium on Monday highlighted the boost a new facility can create.
"You saw the other night how fantastic it is with the new stadium," Don Furner said. "I'd love to see the same thing happen to the centre of Canberra. I know the ACT government would like to see that too.

ACT Government to enhance Canberra Stadium with second replay board
The ACT government is installing a second replay board at Canberra Stadium which will be appropriately sized and equipped with the latest technology.
"Obviously the long term vision is a new stadium, but its great to see investment in the current venue, a Raiders spokesman said.

Re: Calls to get Civic Stadium back on track
I don't know how often this still happens, but they used to lease the big screen to sports grounds outside of Canberra. They've now either doubled the earning potential or replaced an ageing screen that can't be transported anymore.

The one at Canberra Stadium is fixed, Manuka they remove so maybe it's that one?

It wasn't always. TBH, I'd forgotten all about Manuka since I'm not an Aussie Rules fan.

Canberra Raiders want five-year Canberra Stadium deal leading into new stadium in Civic
The Canberra Raiders want a new five-year stadium deal in the hope it will finish with a new Civic Stadium.
"We're talking to the government now about a five-year extension which we're working through," Furner said. "Ideally we would love to see a new stadium by the end of that five years so we don't want to go past that."

Re: Canberra Raiders want five-year deal into new Civic Stadium
The funniest one was a number of people on GH who said the Light Rail build would impact the stadium build, but were howled down by Andrew Barr supporters.
Then within a year Sports Minister Berry came out and said the Light Rail build had impacted on the promise to build a new stadium.

John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Re: Canberra Raiders want five-year deal into new Civic Stadium
Looks like it's going to be a "House Full" sign on the stadium this Friday.
Will Barr be at the game to see we need a new stadium in person? Or do you reckon he'll be in Melbourne trying to justify the money spent on GWS?

I read an article a while ago that GWS were demanding that the ACT Government upgrade some facilities at Manuka or they might not re-sign.
Yeah, they're Canberra's team... as long as the cheques keep clearing.

Exhibition Park emerges as possible location for new 25,000-seat Canberra sports stadium
The long-awaited new Canberra sports stadium could be built at Exhibition Park - rather than in the city - under the ACT government's new $14 billion infrastructure strategy.
"You have no shortage of [government-owned] land, you have a public transport connection with light rail running past it now, and it's geographic location is not too bad in terms of access points on major highways," Mr Barr said.

Re: Canberra Raiders want five-year deal into new Civic Stadium
For a start... 25,000 is too small. It needs to be 30,000 if we are to remain a Preliminary Final venue.
Second point... why relocate the stadium from Bruce... to the far edge of Canberra! Isn’t the whole idea of relocating to bring it into the centre of the city... where there’s bars, clubs etc around?
Who cares if it’s on a tram line, when the tram line doesn’t go anywhere near where the bulk of Canberrans live?
