Looks like the Roar along with Brisbane Striker FQLD and FA have submitted a bid to the Olympics committee to upgrade Perry Park

If they can make it oval shaped it will get money

The issue that was raised was money is going to Ballymore but the only rectangular stadium that has been slated for an upgrade is the Townsville stadium. The Matildas and Socceroo players who wrote in a letter of recommendation may change things and get the government to put some money in. They have a lot of weight and support.

 

The other issue is Brisbane strikers don't really want to share the stadium with the Roar and are eyeing off a possible expansion bid for A-league or NSD. However they are willing to play along for now to get the upgrade.

If you can have three A-league teams playing out of one stadium in Melbourne you can have two football teams playing out of one in Brisbane. It's a no brainer from either club's perspective.

Townsville Stadium? Didn't that only open 5 years ago? What does it need upgrades for?

Have zero idea. But they were speaking about it on the podcast, about 24 minutes in.

Built in February 2020 so yeah it's only 5 years old.

The stadium has a 'horse shoe' design (basically one end of the stadium has less seats then the other) and It still mind boggles me why it was built like this in the first place. With that being said, if they were to 'upgrade' the stadium, it'll most likely be that section of the stadium. They could probably get an additional 5,000 seats to maybe 10,000 seats (that's probably pushing it) and make it a stadium where it's got two levels/tiers of seating through the whole stadium.

To let the cyclone in? Or the people out?
