Panthers want a New Stadium

[Farmduck]

Why not? Everybody wants one. I've often said NSW has a stadium-based economy.

Quote

They have sold all tickets for every home game this year, including the first two where not all members turned up and dragged down attendances slightly.

Where does the money come from for new stadiums like this? Taxes, Business? Sponsorship? All of the above and more?

[Farmduck]

From the 3 levels of Government. Local City Councils don't usually pay much although they own and manage the grounds (generally). If you can convince the Federal Govt that it is a marginal seat which they might either shore up or swing then they cough up most of it.

It doesn't always work. A few years back the State MP for Manly was NSW Premier and the Federal MP for Warringah was the PM and Brookvale is still a dump.
