Look at this! It’s going to be incredible. 😍

@footyindustryAU Amazing. You’ll have what we fortunately have here in Melbourne and is in Adelaide and Perth.

I know they are expensive to host, but the infrastructure that is left behind can transform a city. Sydney is sbenefitting from the Homebush Sports precinct.

Sydney could’ve benefited more from the homebush sports precinct if better decisions were made. Hopefully brisbane learns from that lesson.

@RichardWylie07 Could have benefited by not having it at Homebush and building it around the SCG. Key infrastructure with easy city access works the best and Brisbane have got it right. Should be building a bespoke indoor arena as well.

@RichardWylie07 Well said.

Which end to bowl, bypass or hospital end?

Brilliant entertainment space! Picnic with the family outside. Dip in for a few schooies watching cricket with the lads inside. Best of both worlds. Who wouldn’t want this. Maybe get a pub on site as well

I only wish they’d show the stadium in games mode with athletic track

Brisbane: where Metro means Bus, and Station often means Bus Station.

The 5 stations in that graphic are all train stations.

Herston and Kelvin Grove are Metro (Bus) stations. Roma St & Fortitude Valley train stations aren't exactly close nor an easy walk. Exhibition should be reasonable with Cross-River Rail (actual Metro) although still further than MCG->Richmond Station for comparison.

@MarkGottlieb That's why they're building the southern bridge & improving the access to exhibition station, so it decreases walking times to both those stations.

@MarkGottlieb Cool, still need a tunnel through the hill to Roma St Train Station.

yeah wow, very impressive.

The stadium looks a bit meh

That’s not the official stadium design. That hasn’t been released yet.

Ahhhhh all good then

Mate, take any look at any cg property developer video and then what gets delivered and look how committed they are to following through on the greenery

I would agree with you if they were being asked to build the green space. But they aren’t. Whatever they don’t use for the 3 venues will just stay as green space. It’ll happen. Like Yarra Park in Melb.

Mark proves he is a Liberal party shill by posting this. There is no public transport close to VIC Park. But there is a brand new underground right at the GABA. You sound like you’re twitter account is run by crissafooli’s team

Liberal party shill? Moi? lol. It’s not my fault the Labor government tried to wedge their opponents with a moronic cost cutting campaign pre-election. There are literally 4 train stations surrounding Victoria Park and 3 bus hubs. You sound like an idiot.

Nah, you're the wanker idiot. You post from melbourne. I live in Brisbane so why don't you fuck off and then when you get there, you can fuck off again.

I grew up in brisbane. I lived in brisbane for nearly 3 decades. I moved to melbourne 2 years ago for my wife’s job. I have as much right to talk about the brisbane Olympic plan as you. 👍

I bet you follow Carlton

@MarkGottlieb Couldn't have taken a worse guess lol

@simonj3me I mean. A Magpies-Lions fan might be a lot worse to some 😅

@footyindustryAU The renders are good. It won’t be close to this though. It will be a very watered down version. They also won’t have proper pubs/bar facilities close to the stadium.

@footyindustryAU Nonsense. The stadium is walking distance to The Valley, Caxton Street and the city in 3 directions. About the same distance as tens of thousands of people who arrive at Lang Park from Roma Street station every week for rugby league games.

@footyindustryAU It’s way further than Roma Street to Lang Park mate. That’s a ridiculous thing to say. It’s a long way in all directions. King Street CRR station will be the closest. Also the walk to Lang Park is through an entertainment precinct with pubs and restaurants.

Where do the golfers play now?

@footyindustryAU Distinct lack of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Be interesting to see where that development comes in. Not a whole heap adjacent to the Hospital or on Gregory terrace

@footyindustryAU It's walking distance to Caxton Street and the Valley in two directions. Plus the city in a third.

Its a great stadium not too far from the CBD, but the exhibition station is the closest and its still a ~1km walk. They really need to build a special events station, considering the line is right there. This will be a bit of a pain to get to.

A 1 kilometre walk? That’s too far? Are you insane. Or the fattest person on earth? Tens of thousands of people walk more than 1 kilometre from Roma street station for every game at Suncorp every week. This expectation you must be dropped off 10 feet from the stadium is madness.

Not sure why you are so aggressive, but yeah I have disabled friends and family where this would be an issue. But even ignoring them (why not, everyone else does hey), I used the term 'bit of a pain' not 'arduous trek'. For most its a transfer plus the walk.

There are disability drop off points.

I think you know why this isn't adequatley addressing the issue without me having to point it out.

I do not. The stadium will be incredibly well serviced by multiple forms of public transport in multiple directions. There will be direct access for disability. Anyone else complaining is being a whiner.
