V’landys pushes Super Bowl-style NRL grand final | MichaelChammas LucyCormack
ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys says the NRL is giving strong consideration to a Super Bowl-style rotational grand final venue, which could inject an estimated $200m into the sport over the next decade.that the NRL will this week put forward a proposal to the NSW government that keeps with the tradition of the grand final being played in Sydney but also allows the flexibility of taking a certain number of deciders on the road each decade.
The Panthers won the grand final at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane last year due to COVID-19 restrictions in NSW.“And the reality is that the grand final will still have a place in Sydney. It won’t go every year. But the idea of taking it on the road is something we’re certainly considering. If we opened it up we’d have interest from every state.”
The remaining games will then be put up for auction, not excluding Sydney and Brisbane, and sold to the highest bidder. “Naturally, we have to look at a Super Bowl-style situation where states get the chance to bid on it,” V’landys said.
