Any capacity increase is going to need some major capital works to create the space and a whole lot of talking.

The East will need both of those problems overcome, there would be a massive amount of bullshit to go through to get approval to do it.
Then one has to consider is it worth expanding in it's current location, or build something from new elsewhere.
Then the club would be faced with a substantial hike in the their costs so it would have to guarantee a substantial crowd increase to make it worthwhile financially.
It could possibly be expanded to a small degree in the South West corner, and bit in the North end if the aim was to get it around the 18-20k wether it would have much impact is debatable. I'm all for heritage. I live in a city that is essentially a big medieval city perfectly preserved. Heritage is important. Absolutely positively fuck those buildings off around Hindmarsh. Dead set. I grew up in neighbouring Flinders Park. Fuck me, if that shit is heritage then nuke the whole fucking state. Does anyone know what these heritage listed buildings are? there is an old church at the south end, it's used by the stadium as a storage room now. Can't remember what the one at the south east corner is anymore.

The rationale was in 10 or 15 years the crows might have grown out of Adelaide Oval and will need a bigger, better stadium. Some of this is also linked to a potential Commonwealth Games bid, dunno why we'd bother with that but if it makes the government pump money into upgrading Hindmarsh then I won't complain too much.

Is any part of the stadium heritage listed?
Is the land valuable? Could the government sell the venue to developers and build at another location?

The club is also crying out for some corporate facilities that are basically a closed revenue stream for the club. But I don't think it can really be done because there's no room.
For now the stadium is fine because it basically is the cheapest stadium to rent in the a-league. So I wouldn't spend up big on the place if it ruins that. How long ago did they upgrade the seats? Was that government funded, I can't remember. No Government funding at all. The owners (Entertainment center) paid $4 million for that upgrade. They do what they can, with no help whatsoever. The entertainment centre is owned and run by a state department so yeah the the gov did fund the upgrade. No it's not. The Entertainment is privately owned. Really, who owns it then? I thought it was owned by the State Goverment and run by the Adelaide Venue Management Corporation Board, a state government board as stated here.. http://dpc.sa.gov.au/current-listing-sa-government-boards-and-committeesEdited by redsfan: 10/4/2016 09:36:37 PM No! Certainly not run by Government. That link is only an Arts board, which might just use the venue.  :lol: Oh so they haven't sold it yet? The Entertainment Center paid for the upgrade. They made that very clear that Government money was not used. Only from their revenues.

Would a new stadium somewhere like here be a non starter for this reason? Why not somewhere near AO just east of the research center? Do you live in Adelaide or ever venture into town? If you're talking about the SAHMRI building (the cheese grater), there is no space there as 2 Unis are building there to be close to the new Hospital. Beyond that, the convention centre is under heavy construction and has extended to the Morphett St bridge. Now the parklands across from the new hospital and the Newmarket hotel (used to be called Heaven nightclub can't remember it's new name) has been spoken about as a "city base" for the Crows. That's just north of that map Pala linked. Just west of that is Santos Stadium which I mentioned before. Santos is right next to the railway line and with a tram extension and special buses it'd be a fine location for a "world class" ;) stadium.

Inner northern suburbs and do love the new AO development and footbridge. Which is why I like the spot. Would be great to have a sports district like Melbourne. Not to say Santos Stadium is not a good location either. It sounds like a great idea too.

Surely you don't want a stadium with an athletics track? I'm fighting the cynic in me that believes that "world class stadium" is just a South Australian euphemism for giving AFL and cricket all the taxpayer money and flipping the bird to football as hard as I can.

Until today I didn't even know there were TWO churches at our stadium, neither of which are actually used by any churchgoers (I know for a fact that one is now an office for the security guards). Even if we don't use the extra space to upgrade the stadium, I fully support destroying them just as a fuck you to the nimby cunts who want every fucking building older than 40 to be heritage listed.

This map should answer all your questions people. All places marked on it are on the heritage register. http://location.sa.gov.au/viewer/?map=hybrid&x=138.56978178&y=-34.90833439&z=18&uids=95,102,180It's funny though. Look west to South Rd and you see a whole row of "heritage" buildings that have already been flattened to widen the road #-o Edited by bohemia: 11/4/2016 12:47:58 AM

I just want to know who was the absolute dipshit who placed a stadium on a triangular bit of land. While I love Hindmarsh, perhaps building a 40,000 seater stadium with a roof, decent nearby car parking, better public transport to the stadium and no heritage buildings in sight at Santos Stadium or the police barracks (what's the situation with that?) might not be so bad.

Edited by salmonfc: 11/4/2016 12:54:34 AM What we know as Hindmarsh Stadium was built on the old Hindmarsh Oval. Who built it? (drumroll please....) WE DID. Football was originally further north in the Brompton area on an old industrial site. We moved because the site was contaminated and grass literally didn't grow there. Remember that generations ago we weren't thinking of how to solve next millenium's problems with coping with an expanding national league. We seriously were occupied with more pressing issues like finding fertile soil. Your parents aren't dipshits mate :) The police barracks site is next to Bonython Park, where you see a few crummy buildings and polce horsies. The talk about moving those barracks is just that. They were talking about moving 20 years ago and returning the site to parkland when I was a kid growing up near the area. The only part of the idea they followed through with was on the other side of Port Rd. I haven't lived in Adelaide for maybe 10 years but I would bet my dick those barracks are still there. I don't even need to check.

While I love Hindmarsh, perhaps building a 40,000 seater stadium with a roof, decent nearby car parking, better public transport to the stadium and no heritage buildings in sight at Santos Stadium or the police barracks (what's the situation with that?) might not be so bad. Edited by salmonfc: 11/4/2016 12:54:34 AM What do you mean by roof? An actual roof that closes or roofs over stands? What you are asking for would cost a lot of money. Is the entertainment centre heritage listed. I know I go on about my teams stadium but it is good. They could do a similar thing in Adelaide. Make a stadium with a roof that can be used for concerts and football. This would mean you would have to play on astroturf but they quality is pretty good these days. They just put down rubber mat thingys when events are on so the astroturf doesnt get destroyed. We always play with the roof open no matter what the weather, because football is an outdoor sport.

For the first time, but certainly not the last, I began to believe that Arsenals moods and fortunes somehow reflected my own. - Hornby

What the fuck :lol: it's a train track for buses I thought you were from Adelaide? Is Adelaide so irrelevant that people from Adelaide have never heard of Adelaide? This. I've never been to Adelaide, let alone South Australia, and I know what the O-Bahn is. Jesus, Salmon. Is your mum the Australian Josef Fritzl. Lets you out of the house to collect the mail from the post box, perhaps?
