New $100M Townsville football stadium?

Do they really need to spend that much on a new Stadium there? Is anything wrong with the old one? Who is going to use it?http://m.smh.com.au/federal-politics/federal-election-2016/100m-for-a-local-stadium-thats-not-pork-barrelling-thats-a-bold-vision-says-pm-20160613-gphs1k.html

  • $250m all up.
  • is there anything wrong with Parra Stadium???
    homeless for 2 years is a long time.
    • Mac Parra stadium is an embarrassment to the area and all fans involved, when you walk in its embarrassing, the outside is a disgrace, it looks like a shit hole, its not a place that provokes any pride for supporters, we haven't won anything for 30 years, a new stadium is desperately needed and its a great chance to give the club a new face to the world, all the world/Country sees of a team is the team, its fans and its stadium.

      A new stadium will be fantastic to all involved and we can use the 2 years away as a time to really steel ourselves away, getting out of the comfort zone could be really positive 

    • fair call. I just think it's one of the better ones in sydney.
      faster beer lines. I'm in.
  • QLD = Texas!!!

  • Do they really need to spend $300m on Parra Stadium?
  • I think its fair for a stadium up there, they need a big one, it will be able to be used for soccer and union as well, it will be great for them.

  • Agree Brett

  • If it's going to be a multi purpose stadium than why not? I know it seems like their priorities are wrong but Australia is so behind in terms of other countries. This stadium will generate jobs so what's wrong with that? It reminds me of the views of people who think a second airport in Sydney would be detrimental to the region when Mascot is a car park in peak hour.
  • Good idea for Townsville, not sure what quality they will get for $100mill or is it an upgrade on the existing stadium ?. One of the main problems with the Cows stadium is it's location. It's a $50 cab ride to the ground from town and an absolute nightmare to get a taxi back into town after a game.
