I can't see the stadium with the A-League trophy in the way.

Shouldn't a country with 6 recessions in the last 15 years and a stock market trading at 1/3 the value of the early 1980s be more focused on government spending that produces long term returns?

That would be a popular stadium with the fans. It must not rain in America or something, with all the massive bowl stadiums they have with no roof. That one there looks like it would cover 10% of fans at best. At least the magical floating toilet seat halo of Toyko would cover most of the fans.

I prefer the Chicago one. If for no other reason that you don't have to trek through a f***ing jungle just to get to it.

Jesus Olympic stadium designs are going backwards.

Both of those = fail.

Like Atlanta, it's a part built baseball field.

Any other designs?

the magical floating toilet seat halo of Toyko
In fact, the Chicago one looks like the lid of a toilet, so if we could just combine the Chicago and Tokyo designs you would have a complete toilet!

....why?

The Cubs will fold before they leave Wrigley Field, and Comiskey Park has just had a multi-multi-multi million dollar renovation.

what you want another Subiaco?

Ghicago looks like it has an emo or flock of egals fringe, depending what generation you are from

Only 65,000 seats though.
It's basically an extension of what it is today.
