Quote ="Lockyer4President!"Check out hte stadium proposals. The big winner was going to be the AFL. Ovals in Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Geelong.
The only real benefit to the NRL would’ve been the Cowboys homeground.
Newcastle would’ve had the ends built up and Canberra would’ve got a new stadium (but their current stadium is already better than other grounds in the comp so…).
At least this way the upgrades to the Perth/Adelaide/etc AFL grounds will be paid for with their state govt money and not federal money.'"
The AFL and rugby league would have benefited.
Brisbane, Townsville, Newcastle, Sydney all would have got up-grades or new stadia in the case of the latter.
