What I find totally stupid is the fact they are spending all this money and incovenience on building a new stand and yet only increasing the capacity by 2,500?!?
Swannies for life!
It's only $27,000 a seat.
You beat me to it ... $26,785.71 - per seat.Originally posted by Sanecow

That's outrageous, isn't it?
I wonder how many quotes they got. I would have insisted on at least three or four. Does that include GST?
I say scrap the lot and bring back the grassy knoll that was once "the Hill".
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Plus, we get a second video screen (and the main one will be moved to a much better position (from my point of view anyway)
Where is the main one being moved to JS?

I agree with JS then ... it's going to be great viewing from where I sit in the Brewongle ... almost directly opposite me.
Still, it's a lot of money for a renno.
They could almost build a new stadium for that.

A chance to make a noticeable difference to the SCG capacity, so what do they do make it mostly for corporates why doesn't that surprise me for the SCG Trust.
Personally speaking the day the Swans are playing on a full time basis at Homebush can not come soon enough.
