[MENACING*STORM]

My interest, besides seating/costs:

VIDEO SCREENS
2 large video screens operate at the northeast and southwest corners of the seating bowl as well as 128 smaller television screens positioned throughout the concourses and in corporate areas.

I'll exchange those two video screens for one massive Jumbotron, the Dallas Cowboys have at their new stadium

Inglis' bombs would go straight through it!!! 

[sallymay]

that just looks wired

[CooperCronk]

I think I prefer the 2 screens at either end of the ground.
That Jumbotron looks low to the ground and somewhat distracting.

It would look sensational though when Billy takes off for one of his 90m dashes ...Oh What A Feeling...I didnt like the look of it at  first ,looks too imposing and very flashy yank type stuff ,  but if you have a real good look and imagine sitting in the crowd face on with it,I think it would be quite good,could as you say be a little distracting,but I think it would add some atmosphere to a ground.

I tend to be watching Billy when he makes a break ... for me the screen is only there for replays.

I can sit at home and watch a big screen TV.

If they do put one of them up lets hope they dont do what the Dallas Cowboys did with theres

I dont think there is much chance of them putting one up,but whatever they do put up I hope we can see it properly!!!Cause if you happen to MISS  anything on the field for whatever reason,then hopefully you can see it again on the big screen,the one at OP was a shocker,like you singlemalt I only watch  the replays on the big screen,but when I do,I like to be able to see them!!

Seating plan from Storm site.

4 catagories of seats - interesting, probably 180 /240/320/360 i reckon or thereabouts, though the GA on the west side mid level seems justr as good as the 'premium' seats the other side. I cant imagine they cann go over 400 given the large number of priemium seats otherwise it will look terrible - low numbers at the front and all the fans high up i the cheaper seats

I think the western side may actually be better - as thats where the sun is over, after sitting in the Nikau stand i hate afternoon matches with sun in my eyes, much prefer to have the back to the sun

[Surandy]

Hmm, very strange set up in my view. Personally I've always preferred the western side. Oh well, if they charge too much I might downgrade to a general admission membership, I'll still have a better seat than I've had for the last four seasons or so.

[Bourbon Rat]

The rat is happy

Sections 40/41 general admission,so the rat pack gets a shot at the fence spot ,(but much closer) that we occupied at the Graveyard.

November 2009
Most of the eastern side's roof panels have now been affixed, giving passers-by a closer indication of the finished structure.  Meanwhile, the grass for the pitch is currently growing in Pakenham, expected to be transported to the stadium in January.

Hmm, so I wonder when the turf will be laid as it looks like they are still a bit away from finishing with the cranes installing the remainder of the bubble.

I am a bit concerned that the top tier of the western stand will not be open, therefore no bay numbers.

I hope i am wrong but will just have to wait.

If it is open i know where i will be

At the recent Fans Forum was there any indication given by Brian Waldron of increased price hikes for the various memberships, i.e. percentage wise.?
