I’m going to be completely honest here, I’m not really that disappointed.
I see Commbank Stadium on television and the place looks so hollow and lacking for atmosphere for club matches. I’m sure for special events it would look grand, but I just think of those empty upper bays and think… is that honestly want for Penrith?
I feel something was going to be lost in a new large format stadium and something would be lost from the intimate suburban stadium we have.
Does that mean we should be denied world class facilities? Absolutely not. I’m all on board on loading up on new and luxurious comforts, along with better access for the disabled (see my post from a while back about my ideas on fixing the northern hill pathway bottleneck).
I guess I’ll wait to see what the NSW government is proposing, but I feel this is the better outcome for Penrith.
