yes, forgot to mention 2nd screen , which will be located at the top left rear of the churchill stand.
also wickets probably covered due to city and suburban/army navy games which are played at scg annually after last one day internationals

Yeah, saw some players out there the other day.

BTW Army will kill Navy.

Update:

I had an early finish from work today (POETS Day lol), so I caught the last session of the interstate cricket.

The scoreboard is now just a shell, and the seats on the hill behind the walkway from bays 18-20 have been ripped out


And here's all that's left of it:


A green construction fence goes around from the old cheer squad bay to the end of the Doug Walters Stand:


And the back half upstairs in the Dally Messenger Stand has been ripped out for the scoreboard construction:


And while that demolition is going on, NSW are doing a demolition job on Queensland:

If it was the MCG it would have been down to ground level by now.

Thanks Norris.
It's going to be awesome when it's finished.

Blues build massive lead

New South Wales has built a massive advantage at lunch on the final day of the Pura Cup match against Queensland at the Gabba and is 3-215 in its second innings, 364 runs in front of the Bulls.

For those of you who have seats in the O'Reilly Stand, Bradman Stand, Messenger stand and bays 1-10, here is your new entrances. Nice walk from the Bus drop off areas.

Gee.... I hope they schedule a rugby game at the same time... that should make it even more fun to get in and out via the Aussie stadium entries... NOT...

Fun times

Inconvenient walk around for those of us who sit in the O'Reilly or Bradman, and park on the lake side of the ground, but I suppose it's not that terrible. Hell of a hike for those who like to park, wander over to Fox Studios to grab a bite and then want to get into the ground! It would be worth it though, if they improved the overall flow of traffic along the hill for next year. It's a bit death-trapesque at the minute.

I'm curious to see when the footy posts will go up on the ground now that there is no more cricket to be played on the ground - the webcam could be useful for this. Maybe it will be next week once NSW have headed south for the Shield Final.

Agree..... I'm amazed at how it complies with BCA or how any Emergency plan can possibly comply given that choke point. Everyone craps on about how we have to be afraid of a terrorist attack on major events but imagine something nasty happening in the O'Reilly stand on a big game???

What a load of bollocks... (The planning and the terrorist threat that is)..

Yikes, all gone now!!!! But what's going on with the centre square area???
