Brisbane Home Stadium Review
Government chips in for them to play at Southbank, that’s probably the ‘generous rate’.

$63k is not bad. If you sell 3000 seats per game, then you are washing your face




They South Bank arena deal is much better for them as they claim they lose money at Boondall but not Southbank

They're a horrible (and boring) placeholder team. There has never been a more pointless team in the NBL apart from it being in a major media market.

Brisbane have pretty much only just returned but bloody hell do they feel stale and it's not to do with recycling Cairns players or NZ off court staff.
I thoroughly enjoyed them playing opening night in NZ and seeing Gliddon go off but playing at home you could tell before tip off that they just had a totally different vibe to the team, and they played like they were out of sorts too!

Oh there can be no doubt that Brisband is the most boring team and identity in the league.

Fwiw, Brisbane playing at Southbank as they’re receiving a very generous hiring rate.
No such rate offered out at Boondall. All about the $$$ which is fair enough.
The game night presentation is on management though and Saturday night was embarrassing. Watching all games in Round 1, it’s apparent Sydney / Melbourne / Perth are the benchmarks that other teams should aspire to.

That perfect world was in the late 80s/early 90s.
Then we had the appalling running of the Bullets since the mid 90s which has created a long lasting legacy.


I think maybe the NBL need to accept that Brisbane isn't going to happen.If Brisbane fails, Fox will walk, taking most sponsors with them. The league won't survive that.

In a perfect world the Bullets would be able to play all of their home games in front of 10,000+ crowds at the Entertainment Centre. Have to agree with ME that the Convention Centre looks ugly and quite frankly small for the NBL.

Brisbane is also ugly on TV and the lack of filled seats doesn't make it better either. I think maybe the NBL need to accept that Brisbane isn't going to happen.
