  • Parramatta Stadium To Be Rebuilt!

    mack

    By mack

    The NSW Government have announced long awaited plans to knock down and rebuild Parramatta Stadium, the home of the Western Sydney Wanderers.

     

    The 30,000 planned capacity is the culmination of the long-term stadium development strategy of the NSW Government, with the political lobbying and jockeying between Parramatta Stadium, the Sydney Football Stadium, ANZ Stadium and Penrith Stadium finally put to rest, at least in terms of the Western Sydney Wanderers.

     

    The first stadium to be built is a new Parramatta Stadium, with the existing stadium demolished to make way for a new 30,000 capacity stadium. A new stadium at Moore Park in the CBD will be between 50,000 and 55,000 seats, and it is likely that ANZ Stadium will be fully rectangularised and may have a retractable roof.

     

    Another potential long-term boom for either the Wanderers or the A-League itself, is a plan for a new stadium in Western Sydney perhaps at Penrith or Liverpool, both locations could provide for matches to be played by the Wanderers, or see the stadium as the home for a new A-League team.

     

    The new Parramatta Stadium is expected to be complete by early 2019 at a cost of approximately $300 million.

     

    I call upon the Wanderers, Football Federation Australia and the NSW Government to ensure that our club is not left out of discussions about the facilities and design at the venue, European style Safe Standing should be a priority at the new stadium to ensure a fully world class venue.

     

    While it is likely the naming rights will be up for sale, I also put forward that the new stadium be called Dino Park.

    Just had a look on google at some more pics of it, I like it.

     

     

    Yeah, both stands down each side are different, one side is the main stand which is 3 tier, both ends are covered single tier, gives it a unique feel rather than one of those flat pack jobs. 

     

    Real opportunity to not only create a functional new stadium with great viewing lines from all seats, but also create an eye catching design, I would almost hope it is a controversial design that splits opinion rather than a bland job.

    Very nice stadium. How much heat would come through the glass roofing though?

    Heat is not a problem in the UK

    You can see it in the first pic you posted, how come they haven't put any seats in the corners? Seems perfect some more seats to boost capacity and it doesn't appear to be too far away from the pitch either.

    :D

    Looks new agey and horrid. Belch. The seats are also way too far back. That flat green grass pitch thing could work though.

    :P Each to their own lol

     

    I would love a set of designs that make half the people say it looks new agey and horrid lol Shows they will be along the right lines for mine :D

     

    In general the average person on the street loves bland, they might think they don't, but they do. Like the Riverside stadium in Middlesbrough that everyone went woooooo and woooooow over at the time when the reality is that it is no more than a flat pack box of a stadium.

    So, this is just a really, really quick mockup (literally takes 2-3 mins) of the stand design. Cap under this design would be around 33k...

    This is a uniform bowl and fits the site. However, I think it needs a bit more character in the bowl design. I can remove sections and add height to the east/west tiers as there is more room behind. Any ideas?

     

    BTW, I am in no way an architect. Would be nice, but I was the type of teenager who never wanted to do much and as a result never followed that path... however, I do love stadiums and just love mucking around in Sketchup :)

    Take a look at Huddersfield Town's ground, can't post a pic at the min. But a good example of two tiered stands with added character.

    I've actually been to Huddersfield Town's stadium. Dad is best mates with one of the former Chairmen and used to play there in his late teens/early twenties.

     

    I do like it, but it's very 2000's for me. Perhaps even something like these:

    Perhaps?

    If you are going to design it, you will need to understand Fifa Technical recommendations and requirements for stadiums :)

     

    http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/football_stadiums_technical_recommendations_and_requirements_en_8211.pdf

     

    My only concerns would be: Put fans/spectators as close as you can put the the pitch and have a decent rake/pitch/rise to the stands whilst being safe (section 6 might help)

    Well aware of the FIFA regs. Also have my Stadium Atlas to reference. I've done so many that I almost know the criteria off the top of my head ;)

    Although, the renders have seats in the lower bowl still.

     

    Wow.

     

    I don't think the seats have been put in yet.

    BTW...

     

    If Wanderland 2.0 actually goes ahead it needs to be prioritised that there is a Bavarian Bier Cafe shop front within the Eastern/Northern stands' precincts.

     

    Pisses me off I can't get a proper stein and schnitzel unless I walk back the 10 minutes to the BBC in Parra itself.

    we need beer pipelines installed similar to this :Phttp://www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/veltins-arena-s1418/

    How good is that review about Schalke's stadium?! Thanks for sharing it.

    And how good is that stadium?!

    So, I've just come back from a walk around Pirtek (on my lunch break) and through the park. The more I think about it we don't need something square and boxed like Suncorp... we need something that will match the slope from the river up to the ground, the green of the trees around and the open space of the park... so I have an idea :) It's a bit different, but I'll get something up today/tomorrow.

    All good designs. I'm hopeless at this kind of thing, but for me

     

    1: Steep rake

    2: Single tier preferred

    3: Safe standing

    4: Cevapi stand

    5: Full strength beer

    6: Petting zoo

    7: Moat

    8: cannons

    9: lots of flag poles

    10: Castle walls 

    11: Crocodiles for the moat

    12: a lion to be feed from the petting zoo

     

     

     

    I've lost my train of thought. Sorry
