Football's $270m grand Adelaide plan

[dcarson7]

ADELAIDE United has become the state's first major sporting club to back plans for a new city-based sporting stadium – and has signalled its intention to build a $270 million, 45,000 seat soccer stadium on the fringe of Bonython Park.

Fantastic news !!! :eek:

Hopefully we'll get some high standard international matches in the future.

Hindmarsh is nice but IMO it's more suited to the development of younger players in Amatuer, semi-pro and pro level.
His model is based on a stadium in Frankfurt which hosted the World Cup quarter-final between Brazil and France.
I'm sure England played there during the WC because I remember that the ball hit the retractable roof, hopefully modifications will be made where necessary.

Hindmarsh Stadium has a capacity of 16,500.

That's great. I think if the other clubs follow the same road then the A-league could easily be compared with the MLS. Well done, Adelaide. :)

Well the World Cup commitee wouldn't give Australia any consideration for hosting the WC unless the stadiums were up to scratch, this is a big step forward towards that goal.
