State Pork

“As it stands, the majority of Sydney clubs prefer a $600 to $700 million refurbishment to turn ANZ Stadium into a 72,000-seat permanent rectangular venue, but the NRL and sports minister Stuart Ayres favour a knock down and rebuild of Allianz Stadium at a cost of $1.2b.”

How about we don’t do either?

Both stadiums are just fine as they are and less than 20 years old.

And besides the NRL earns all its money off TV rights and the sole purpose of a crowd is to make the TV spectacle more appealing.

Surely technology is such that they could artificially fill the stadiums with people for the TV broadcasts?

My guess; this has the usual whiff of a funds transfer from the public purse to private hands

You gotta love their style.

To avoid a debate on the subject, straight out of the gate they are publicly arguing amongst themselves about two options.

Genius tactics!
