Every time I see a Highlanders home game I wonder why Canberra doesn't have a similar stadium, it looks awesome.
x 100. The FBS would fit perfectly on the pool site next to the Canberra Casino. Why there's still a pool right next to Canberra's CBD and not out in the suburbs is a failure of the NCDC. The way Canberra's grown over the last 50ish years there should be at least one major aquatic centre on both sides of the lake. And the current pool site should be reserved for an indoor stadium.

If i'm going out for dinner with the better half I might choose southbank if we are staying in melbourne but if i'm kicking on after the footy with the boys i'm going to richmond or brunswick
Who lives near of Richmond station? I need a photo of Billy Slater mural in high definition. I was there but I couldn't find the mural, I was hurried on

I would think the cheap seats would be close on 200
regardless of the price, a 30% premium for Sydney would cover the difference in capacity compared to Melbourne.

I think a good comparison would be the NRL charge $400 for their Gold tier state of origin tickets currently. That event happens every year at multiple venues.

I reckon average ticket price by 2027 to the RWC will be $500.

It's been a long time since Homebush could be described as being in the West of the City. Christ. Parramatta isn't even all that far west these days.

It's a shit of a place to get to. And it's a shit of a place when you get there. Look, to each his own. I'll not be travelling interstate for those facilities all the same.

Wait, when did I say what you quote me as saying? If I click on the link it takes me to a post where I say nothing even remotely related.

Highly likely you're presence won't be required to fill the ground mate, but you'll still be most welcome to join us.....
Judging off recent crowds in Sydney….. In all seriousness if the Wallabies make a final of a home World Cup I would go even if they played the game in Alice Springs. I wouldn’t care as long as we win at home and make up for the heart break of 03
