Lang Park architects win Robina Stadium contract

[Steelers]

It's the perfect mix between suburban stadium and big city stadium.

[Steve Dangerous]

Goodness, that looks amazing.

25k is a good size imo. If we can get say 15-20thousand to each game, it's going to be much better atmosphere in a tight little stadium like that... it's going to be really personal and intese. looks great... fans right on the sideline.

hope the pricing isn't too bad

[Steve Dangerous]

it's a pity they have to play our first season at crappy ol carara stadium lol

yeah if only they had have started building earlier but i guess that wasn't possible.

That is such a great design!

[League Freak]

Its good news for the game.

With the Titans, Broncos and soon the melbourne Storm having great stadiums like this...it can only lead to bigger and better things for the game in these areas.


I believe that the next stepping stone for the game crowd wise is to update facilities.

We've seen recently that Enegry Australia Stadium in Newcastle is getting there, but some teams play out of terrible stadiums that are way out of date.

That stadium is beautiful, it is up there with the best

[Dakink]

That is an awesome stadium.

The strangth of the NRL is the suburban grounds. I would hate to be like the AFL and all teams have to play out of giant stadia.

The little grounds need upgrading for sure - buit they are part of the fabric of the game. Just look at Wests Tigers home grounds, sold out Kogorah and WIN. You cant beat that atmosphere, we just need to help the clubs/ground owners develop these little jewels properly. They dont have to be large just modern.

Exactly right. and Robina Stadium looks like the perfect surburban stadium. Great design and so close to the action. Standing ovation for the designers!

[The Original Idiot]

If anyone has seen an empty English soccer stadium, they spell out the club name with the seats. This would look awesome at Robina, blue and sand coloured seats spelling GOLD COAST.

[Steelers]

They might, but if they don't I won't be surprised. Becuase it is going to be a govt. owned stadium it will host more than just Titans games.

[The Original Idiot]

Good point, but if it just says gold coast that should be alright.

Just the words 'Gold Coast' would probably be fine. But they might go for some sort of colour scheme (like lang park)

It'd probs be around the same at Suncorp maybe :confused:
