MrAiDaN66 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 So the AFL will own Etihad stadium in 2025, by that time I am guessing either another stadium for football (round ball) be built or Aami park undergo a revamp to a 50,000 seat stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 AAMI wont be re-developed, the foundations aren't adequate and the roof structure wouldn't enable it. Would be cheaper to build an entirely new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedaik Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) My understanding is that the foundations are fine, its just the roof structure which needs to be completely re-done. I really can't see us getting a bigger rectangular stadium in Melbourne anytime soon, if we weren't going to build a new one for the World Cup then we aren't going to get one for the ALeague. Heart, Storm and Rebels have nothing to gain by getting a bigger stadium either. Edited March 18, 2013 by hedaik1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
