Used to enjoy the old days at Apollo when you used to be able to watch 4 "District" matches in the one venue on the same night. All Junior boys were either on a Friday night or Saturday morning at the old Forestville and Junior Girls the same time slots, but at Bowden. Progress is great or is it?

There are a number of sports with centrally located "master arenas" and then clubs with their own stadiums for trainings. Softball is one sport with the West Beach stadium (Barratt Reserve). For example, Seacombe played at West Beach and trained at one of the local Seacombe ovals. (don't know what they do now)

There are benefits of a central stadium that include sponsorship. Softball SA had quite a lucrative sponsorship with SAFM in the mid to late 80's. Softball was also written about extensively in the Crow-vertiser all those years ago as well!

I was surprised to hear that the building complex was $60M to construct.

All jokes aside, a ten court stadia at the point would be perfect for the city. I know it is "north of Gepps Cross", but there would be 500,000 residents within 15 -25 mins of it.

Securing the site and then refurbishing/converting the buildings would take some investment, but I suppose that's why BSA want a slice of the canteen profits . . . .
