The $102 million project will increase the stadium capacity to 40,000 and complete the stadium bowl, with a new 14,000 capacity two-tier northern stand to replace the ageing Ford Stand and Ablett Terrace. It will also include a new northern entry plaza for patrons entering from Geelong city centre and the South Geelong train station. Geelong will be able to host more domestic and international cricket with the existing Geelong Cricket Club rooms at the stadium to be replaced and new cricket facilities to be built as part of the redevelopment. The project will include new media and loading facilities with better pitch access to allow the delivery of drop-in pitches to enable Kardinia Park to host international and top tier cricket. The improved pitch access will also allow the stadium to host major concerts and family events, such as Disney on Ice or Monster Truck Jams. Women’s sport will be boosted with the redevelopment to include new unisex changerooms and facilities that will allow more professional women’s sport to be played at the stadium. Geelong’s rich sporting history will also be celebrated with a new sports museum, the Geelong Sports Discovery Centre, to be built at Kardinia Park as part of the project.

    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 21/05 SOME ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO GATE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE Ross Booth 1 SOME ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CHANGES TO GATE-SHARING ARRANGEMENTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE 1 INTRODUCTION Whilst gate revenue as a source of revenue for the (member-owned win-maximising) clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) is relatively small and declining as a proportion, it is still an important source of revenue difference between clubs, and potentially their on-field playing performance. Until 2000, gate revenue was shared between the home and away teams (after the deduction of match expenses), after which the policy was changed to allow the home team to keep all of the (net) gate receipts. In the AFL, membership income, reserved seat and corporate box income has never been shared, but the league does share the revenue from key income streams such as national TV broadcast rights (there is no local TV revenue), corporate sponsorship and finals. The AFL (1998) recommended in its Gate Sharing Discussion Paper to change the gate-sharing arrangements, because the intended equalising of gate revenue was not being achieved. Whilst net gate proceeds had traditionally been shared 50-50, membership and reserved seat income had not. This meant that a club playing in a large stadium with a large cash-paying crowd provided a good return for the visiting side. However, a club playing in a small stadium filled mostly with members and reserved seat holders had little room for a cash-paying crowd, and hence provided a poor return to the visiting team.
