Memorial Drive upgrade could be more

If it were up to me I'd aim for 15,000 seats, no point under doing it. But importantly have the ability for it be reduced to 10,000 for smaller events such as 6er games.

It mentions netball and basketball in the article. What size stadium can we expect? 10,000+ seats? A lot of 36ers fans would come out of hiding to attend the city stadium and I think with Netball Australia evolving so much they would push it as well.

What I don't understand is they are only pledging 10M. Of it will cost hundreds of millions what is he 10M for?

I believe the current $10m is to redevelop the outdoor courts and not the main arena. The main arena would cost an extra $190m which will probably come at the next State Election. If the arena is built the 36ers would most likely be playing all their games there as otherwise I don't think they'd build it for only tennis (probably only need it for a week a year, or maybe an extra weekend if it hosts a Davis Cup tie) and only 5 games of basketball and netball there a year.

believe the current plan does not have a roof - tennis sa / aust want a roof.

I have no problem with all these community sports bodies getting upgrades. Creates employment and gives our next generation good facilities.

Even if it does cater to basketball. The 36ers probably wouldn't move since the owners actually own Titanium Arena, and are in a good position to actually make money for once.

There's also the upgrade of Her Majesty's Theatre which will pick-up overflow from the Festival Theatre.

I wouldn't have thought that $10m would be anywhere near enough to make it an all-weather area that suited basketball, but the concept video looks very good - enclosed space, modern design, etc.

Are there enough events available for Adeliade to have a tennis tournament again with works class players?

Are they trying to get a Davis Cup tie?

The New Orleans Hornets, New Jersey Nets, Houston Rockets & Indiana Pacers have completed a 5-Player trade which looks good for pretty much everyone involved.

Trevor Ariza was sent to the New Orleans Hornets and Darren Collison to the Indiana Pacers in a four-team, five-player trade Wednesday.

In the trade, the Houston Rockets sent Ariza to the Hornets, who in turn sent Collison and James Posey to the Pacers.

The Pacers sent Troy Murphy to the New Jersey Nets. And the Nets sent Courtney Lee to the Rockets.
