Yeah this original image doesn't factor in a lot of things, most importantly, the new 25,000 seat Aquatic stadium at Centenary pool in Spring Hill. -
Apologies I edited my post a few times and removed the part where I had that. Yes, will be built post 2032. Gabba will hold the cricket as its swansong and then private sector will build Brisbane Live post games
-
Built once the games are done and will be where the Gabba is now. And will be privately funded. Gabba will stick around til 2032 for the Lions AFL and also host the cricket for 2032 as it's swansong. And then be demolished after the games and replaced with a new Brisbane Live arena privately funded by who knows.
-
Brisbane Live is dead - not happening. There won't be any Brisbane live, they'll do an indoor arena at the spot where the Gabba is now post 2032. The money the federal govt allocated to Brisbane live is going to the 60,000 new main stadium at Vic park and also the new Aquatic centre nearby at Centenary Pool.

Probably will be useful for concerts before Brisbane live gets built after 2032. Boondall entertainment centre is just too old (42 years now), Riverstage is terrible in my opinion, the stadium at the showgrounds can host concerts for artists that Brisbane has missed out on recently who only opt for Sydney and Melbourne e.g. Olivia Rodrigo and Dua Lipa. We don't have an adequate arena. Something that isn't 50,000+ like Suncorp but something that isn't so small like Fortitude Music Hall which only fits 1,500. I'm hoping it'll have a roof.

Pretty much all the leaks had confirmed most things we knew. Only new stuff (although it appears @AustralianFan had it covered last night) is: Maryborough gets the archery which is a bit random but ok. Sailing for Townsville and the Whitsundays. Big win for Hockey and the Gold Coast as they secure that instead of the weak Ballymore. And yeah Gabba to be demolished after the games with Brisbane Live most likely being built there by a private company post 2032 with I guess tenders being open. I'm personally very happy with this. Now let's just freaking start and deliver!

I don't like his politics but it's a great plan by Crisafuli. Previous govt should've followed the recommendations as set by his own committee which suggested Victoria Park. Brisbane now gets to be the home of aquatics in Australia with a 25,000 seat aquatic venue + a 60,000 seat stadium.

Paris 2024 Ceremonies - Verdict
Olympic Fan Darcy replied to sebastien1214's topic in Paris 2024 Ceremonies Discussions
I’ll give a more in depth response later but nobody can honestly give this anything above a C+. All I can say or show for now is this image. What an embarrassment for Paris. -
I give it a C+. Would've been a failed grade if not for the ending with Celine and the Eiffel tower and balloon bumping it from a D+ to a C+. Still the worst Opening Ceremony i've seen.
-
It's always good to finish strong and Celine delivered but the entire thing was just such a let down. Even the lead up to the lighting of the cauldron was pure chaos. Nadia Comaneci nearly fell in the river, the boat clearly took too long and we just had a random guy dancing. Then we had a bunch of athletes passing eachother the torch all confused with what to do on the walk down.
-
Ok I’m on a delay. That’s super cool.
-
A fucking balloon? Wow.
-
Count how many times you see photographers in the background. This is woeful. And so sad that nobody is there to see this. Empty. What were they thinking?

Another tennis player. At least Mauresmo makes sense as a Frenchwoman.
