Shame about the Rebels. Would have been a nice earner for Western in a leasing arrangement.

Spoke to an insider at a dinner last night. They have already started renting out the venue for certain things. Had a national gridiron championship there a couple of weekends ago with 1000 people in attendance, and are looking to sign an agreement with school sport Australia to use the ground on an ongoing basis for their high end matches. 

Its a revenue stream no other club has. It might not move the needle just yet but its a smart play.
