The new Perth stadium is starting to take shape, I catch the train past every day on my way to work and I am looking on eagerly as the train rattles past through the carriage window. Watching the project unfold is interesting, the sections are being built with 8 tower cranes located around the project and a bunch of crawler cranes working the centre field lifting the modular sections into place.
When finished, the Perth Stadium is going to be world class facilities located close to the city that will enhance not only sporting facility but should also be an excellent outdoor concert venue. While I have never been to a sporting event at the revamped Adelaide Oval, I see the facilities are probably the best in the country. That is a pretty big call as the MCG is an excellent facility in a larger city than Adelaide seating up to 100,000 people, the Perth Stadium will seat 60,000 people and has the potential to attract international sporting events.
The stadium project is about 1/3 completed, a new train station and lines is being built to service the stadium and a new pedestrian bridge hasn't begun construction yet. The completion date is expected to be in early 2018 but most projects run over time so we will see if this stadium will be ready for the 2018 AFL premiership season.
