Tasmania needs the roofed stadium so that it can have a team in the AFL, but the venue has been designed to offer the state so much more.
Concept designs for Tasmania’s new AFL stadium at Macquarie Point, complete with a transparent roof, were released on Sunday.
In fact, the government said on Sunday the stadium’s design was informed by modelling data on the trajectory data of cricket balls to ensure it would also host the best quality games in that sport. “When completed, the stadium will be the largest timber roofed stadium in the world,” Mr Street said.“While developing this stadium is an important step in realising our dream of seeing our own AFL and AFLW teams running out on our own field, this facility will offer so much more.”
That frame will support a fully transparent roof, which will allow light in, support natural turf growth and avoid the need for large light towers.
