Stadium of Canterbury

@taniwharugby Yes Mate Just another proposal nothing settled on yet that will be more time wasted 35,000 seater roof done I reckon

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.

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

@mariner4life Is there any stadium that sells good beer?

We get the full range of monteiths in chch (I think there’s 7 or 8 options).
Not top quality but pretty good (the American pale ale is 5.7%).

I have been a season ticket holder for 15 years. Every year we used to get a survey about how things could be improved and I would complain about the shit beer (warm Tui in plastic bottles). Finally they listened to me!

I'll be sure to think of you, waiting in line for your tui with thousands of others, while I walk straight up and grab my garage project.
