mack Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 The landscaping is going in now. Still think they should have put a small side/futsal cage or two out the front. MistahCampoy, Prydzopolis and DinoPresinger 3 Link to comment

Eeeeek!! It's going to be like climbing a ladder getting up to those rows at the back of the upper section! AAMI is steeeep...does anyone know whether this is much steeper??

Wanderboy Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) I like the fact that they appear to be planting deciduous trees. Makes sense. Shade in the summer and max sunlight in the winter. I can see jacarandas and what I think are crepe myrtles. The place should look spectacular throughout the seasons. *edit* On second viewing, I don't think are either jacarandas nor crepe myrtles. They do however look deciduous.

wendybr Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I think I'll need to start of a fitness regime myself - well I know I do. But it's also the vertigo that might be an issue for some. At the back of AAMI - and not even quite in the middle of the stadium where it is the tallest, I felt almost dizzy - and I haven't ever experienced vertigo for real. PS I'm not complaining - it's very exciting.... Edinburgh and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment

PS I'm not complaining - it's very exciting.... Yeah I know the feeling Wendy, had the same experience when I went to the track and field at the Sydney Olympics. Walked to the very back of the side stands, turned around to look and it was as if everything was moving except me lol. It's generally something that you'll get used to and is often not an issue if you're seated. wendybr and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment

Yes - I'm sure that'll be the case (that you get used to it) But for people who haven't been to somewhere like that before ( and Level 6 at ANZ is probably somewhat similar - but not so steep), they might be surprised at how dramatic the incline is below you. I remember walking along the row at AAMI, with people already seated (so you have to sidle past their legs) and wondering how far below a person would end up if they overbalanced! You're actually standing (or sitting when you get to a seat) well above the heads of the people in the row below you. Anyway...it will be all part of the adventure!

For anyone that has been to your other fave teams gaff -St James Park, Newcastle it wont be an issue! Away fans are in a ridiculously high tier and i was on the front row with people behind jumping all over the ******* place...this was a good 8 or 9 years ago and if i went over the edge i swear i would still be falling now...

wendybr Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 PS Got lots of steps (and actually quite steep ones) at school. I have increasingly got to dislike them. But with this in mind, I'll stay back for an extra 15 mins a day and build up to a point where I can jog up and down them - 5 days a week! Lololol! Edinburgh and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment
