If a new stadium, where?

You need to think big - thinking small gets you nowhere.

I like the idea of an 8-10 court stadium in a more central area, and the location Isaac suggested sounds like a good solution to me. Or at least start with 4 courts with plans for another 4 down the track.

I wouldn't go ripping down existing stadiums, you want new ones in addition to what already exists.

Local Associations should be pushing for government grants/council funding to refurbish and/or extend their older venues. I'll again refer to VIC stadiums like Nunawading. Nunawading is an old NBL venue in the days of the old Albert Park stadium. It is in better condition than the now demolished Albert Park sheds, but Nunawading continually spend small amounts of money keeping it up to date and improving the facilities.

I also just found out from a mate that Nunawading is about to get access to a brand new 4-court facility down the road in Vermont as well! Multi-court "mega-stadiums" seem to be popping up all over VIC!!!! Makes me feel a bit jealous!

Rather than build a new stadium for the sixers we would be better off building a decent 8-10 court complex, in a central location, with access to public transport, so that BSA can shut down some of the unsafe crap excuses for courts in the suburbs

If you build it, they will come...

Take Victoria as an example - they build new stadiums all the time and keep filling them with kids and competitions. Not sure if a new 6ers venue is needed, but certainly another multi-court mega-stadium wouldn't go astray.

For those that are ot aware, in VIC, Kilsyth have just added a brand new 5 court recreation venue at a local high school in addition to their existing 4 and 5 court venues. Knox are looking at adding a new 4-6 court facility in nearby Scoresby as well in addition to their 6 court stadium in Boronia. These associations already have mega-stadiums and they are adding more!
Needless to add that Dandenong have a 14 court (?) first class stadium, and MSAC has a 12-court venue with first class facilities as well. Both faciltiies can accommodates a crowd of 2000 plus as required as well.

Right next to the Cemetary... nice. Would be more appropriate for the Spirit to have their games next to a Cemetary; it appropriately reflects their fan base.
