All Olympic/Paralympic venues on the Gold Coast have been allocated so not sure what events they have in mind for it. https://x.com/austadiums/status/1855110351840551056?s=61 Credit: Austadiums.com *********************** The Stadium Business.com are suggesting: “The venue could host some of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games sports and culture events, as well as international and national music acts, major sporting events and family entertainment.” Additional Sports for Brisbane 2032 LA2028 recently had six additional sports added to it’s sports program. Brisbane's 2032 can also expect to have additional sports added although not necessarily the same extra ones that LA just got. So the planned 12,000 seat Gold Coast Arena may come in very handy indeed for additional indoor competition/s. Outdoor sports considered likely to be added to Brisbane 2032’s program are T20 Cricket and Surfing. Quote

The new Gold Coast Arena would be a perfect modern venue for Netball preliminaries and finals to be played at. From Netball Australia. “With the support of World Netball, Netball Australia has declared its intent to have Netball played at the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane.” “Netball has been a Commonwealth Games sport since 1998 and the work starts now to see it included in Brisbane.” “Netball Australia CEO Kelly Ryan said netball deserved to compete under the five famous rings.” Quote

Ok so the IOC has stressed new sports must be sustainable, inclusive, urban, youth-oriented, spectacular and gender-equal, while not requiring new, permanent infrastructure.

Spectator capacity: 27,690 What is Flag Football? As in American football, the aim of flag football is to advance up the field via a series of offensive plays into the opposition’s defensive endzone. It is a non-contact sport with 'tackles' made by removing one of two vinyl 'flags' attached to the ball-carrier’s waist - one on each side. Play starts at a team’s own five-yard line with the centre snapping the ball back to the quarterback who either passes the ball forward to try and find a receiver, or hands off to a running back. The play is over when either a flag is removed, the ball-carrier goes out of bounds, or a forward pass hits the ground. Each team has four attempts - known as downs - to reach the halfway line. If successful, they have another four downs to reach the endzone and score a touchdown. If unsuccessful on either count, the ball is turned over to the opposition who start on their own five-yard line. Turnovers also occur due to interceptions - when a defender catches a ball intended for a receiver - and fumbles, when the ball-carrier drops the ball and a defender collects. In flag football, no running plays are permitted when the offensive team is five yards or less from the endzone. After a touchdown, which is worth six points, teams go for an extra point - by running or passing - from the five-yard line, or two extra points from the 10-yard line. A Flag Football match consists of two 20-minute halves with the clock running continuously in each until the two-minute warning. After the two-minute warning, the clock stops every time there is a stoppage, ie. when the ball-carrier goes out of bounds, a forward pass goes to ground or there is a turnover or a score. A flag football field measures 70 x 25 yards (45.7m x 22.86m) including 10 yards (9.1m) allotted to each of the two endzones. Flag Football - Olympics.com Quote

AustralianFan Posted November 21 Report Posted November 21 I think it’s wishful thinking on the part of the Gold Coast to snaffle some events off the Sunshine Coast. I think the Sunshine Coast Stadium upgrades will proceed. See this ABC News Australia report: Gold Coast poised to poach Olympic events from Sunshine Coast amid Stadiums delay The Gold Coast is poised to poach more Olympic events if cost blowouts plaguing the Sunshine Coast's stadiums force a venue rethink. The Sunshine Coast was promised a major upgrade to its outdoor stadium and a new indoor sports centre to host soccer and basketball during the 2032 Olympic Games. The venues would also address a chronic shortage of community sporting facilities in a region with an exploding population. However, the new Queensland government recently revealed costs for the two stadiums had jumped from $290 million to $410 million. The outdoor stadium upgrade would increase capacity from 1,046 seats to 10,000 permanent seats plus another 10,000 temporary seats during the Olympics. The new indoor centre would deliver 11 courts, seat 6,000 spectators, and be used to host major futsal and basketball championships from 2027. City of Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said his region was keen to host more events if the Sunshine Coast could not, but warned time was ticking. "We've already got facilities here … we're more than happy to accommodate [more events]," he said. Quote
AustralianFan Posted November 23 Report Posted November 23 2032 Olympic Training Venue: Bentleigh Aquatic Centre Upgrade The $23.1m legacy upgrade of the Bentleigh Aquatic Centre in Brisbane’s City of Logan will also provide yet another quality training venue for the world’s swimming teams when they descend on Brisbane in 8 years time: Swimmers with eyes set on Olympic glory can soon build their skills in Beenleigh with construction of an Olympic-sized pool now in progress. The $23.1 million upgrade of Beenleigh Aquatic Centre will see the creation of Logan’s second Olympic-sized pool. The 50-metre, eight-lane swimming pool is expected to open mid-2025 and replace the outdated pool that occupied the space since 1964. The existing pool was so old that it was marked with imperial measurements, coming out at thirty-three-yards long. Source: City of Logan Quote
