ha-ha ah like this .BoxEater wrote:pnm priorities in order.... bun children hospital
that stadium is being built for pnm supporters.... when pnm ppl sick they normally go on the road and take a sweat.... whether it be football, unprotected sex in a shack or running from police....
when pnm children sick, the parents would take them to the stadium and because of its magnitude and sophistication, the children will be instantly cured....

WICB does pay rent to whom?

First class games do not need a Brian Lara type stadium to be played...there is the National Cricket Centre in Balmain and the UWI Spec in St Augustine both of which also have 1st class ratings. Only a few thousand at best shows up for a 1st class match anyhows so 15,000 seater BLCS is still oversized.
QPO may be expensive to rent but the alternative is a billion dollar stadium??
We could pay the QPO rent for the 1 to 5 days of international cricket we get ever two years for the next three hundred years and still not have wasted the money that was spent on the BLCS.

So that is a justification to leave the stadium abandoned? How do we expect the sport and attendance to grow if we restricting it to bleachers in UWI Spec and Balmain?
While attendance is great, TV rights and viewership is where the money is. In many international games now the stands are empty but thousands are watching on ESPN, Willow and other services. If ppl watching cricket and it just looks like a sweat on a glorified lawn, nobody will view that.

You mean like the Nagico Super50 where the WICB pays ESPN to show it as opposed to the other way around??

1) expensive
2) unnecessary
3) most citizens won't benefit
However I just want consistency for the Aquatic Centre, cycling Velodrome, national tennis centre
Which are
1) expensive
2) unnecessary (probably more)
3) most citizens won't benefit (for sure ).
4) hugely more expensive to maintain/run/receive income
But having the stadium already so far to me it's pointless to abandon it. My 2 cents.
