WHat do Taswegians think of the proposed stadium? Is it electorally popular?

It’s time to pull the plug on the stadium. It’s a planning, heritage, financial, economic and transport disaster #nonewstadium @peterfitz1.bsky.social @mikecarlton01.bsky.social

It occurred to me once that our state or federal governments could in fact mandate the installation of the same mobile phone blocking systems as prisons use, at all stadia.
And that'd stop "in game betting" for good
They want a roofed stadium - it will pay for itself with the AFL help
a huge white elephant we neither want nor can afford
I’ve seen no costings that make sense
and effectively screwing the north out of any game attendance, too far/too expensive

Get over it - you want a team , you’ve got one.
Support them if you are a Tasmanian
we can’t afford the ill conceived, poorly costed whim of a few politicians
out of interest, what’s your skin in the game?

Blocked him.
Hobart is the second driest city in Australia behind only Adelaide.
Not to mention a historic prime waterfront site and it will completely overshadow the war memorial!
Most Tasmanians don’t want it & those who live north of Hobart could go to a game in Melbourne for less.
No telecast on Saturday.
Its ALL been said before!
Experience tells me watch out for 2 words, Lend Lease
If their name's in the contract the process has been corrupted(& I knew that before 4 Corners).
AND they'll charge much more than originally quoted,
just like they did in Sydney.
I must've clicked on wrong pic.. D'oh!
Anyway the 1st 2 say enough and then some and all turned out true, cost over-runs, a Premier(Ultimately)found by the ICAC to have acted corruptly(in other things but no one looked into the stadium fiasco) & other.
That will apply to the new-fangled electronic sign boards which are now at every ground, flashing "Bet now" & " In-play bets now on" etc etc.
A stadium in a city of 2 million will be used a lot more than one in a city of 250K
Answers. Optus has 2 AFL teams and hosts 22 AFL games each year, plus finals (best of luck 😉) and is a Test venue.
The proposed Hobart stadium will host just 7 games a year (true) and is not Test capable.
2 existing stadia have had AFL for almost 20 years. One, in Launceston that hosts the Hawks, is rated the best playing surface in Aus has had $100m upgrade. The other, Bellerive is 4 kms away.
We already have several stadiums.
No more taxpayer dollars should be thrown at this scam.
The most recent stadium, we were told by Gladys Berejiklian, would be " a big earner " and the $$$ would constantly pour in.
Has anyone looked at the figure since it was finished?
Is it making huge profit/s for the state of NSW?
Our health and education system could do with that money first.
It's not Field of Dreams.
factor in travel and/or parking plus accomodation and it is not something you’d do regularly
plus I love our old-skool York Park in Launceston
Illiterate. I stand by that and reckon it will be confirmed when the POSS is completed.

Most people think AFL surprised Rockliff agreed to it.

3 camps
* Build It NOW at all costs. Hobart/Slobart
* Not on your Nelly - expensive/poor public transport/ bad AFL deal/traffic chaos/cuts health & education.
Privatise govt assets (Abetz). Use over estimated
* Support Tas team, but move stadium, at lot less than 1b !
It'll tower over Hobart's beautiful historic wharf area stealing a development location that any city in Australia would be rightly envious of.
For the sake of 7 AFL games a year, yes that's correct just 7, it will beggar Tassie.
I don’t understand who these hoards of tourists are that will travel to Hobart for a few games…how does that pay for a stadium?
I’m not sure who they see as being the audience for these new stadium games, Hobartians and interstate fans?
the numbers don’t make sense
of an AFL team to this project.
Factor in petrol, tolls, parking, a pie n sauce each & it was going over $150 for cheap seats & Roosters subsidise price of food to help.
Buy 4Mths of Kayo, stay home & watch 100 sports anytime is less than $150.
