basin would be awesome home for the nix.
That statement should be in the "shit nobody says" thread shouldn't it?
Unless the redevelopment involves kicking cricket out and turning the Basin into a rectangle then there's no way on earth it will ever be a suitable venue for football.
Romanticising for a minute though, turning it into a rectangle with a 15,000 - 20,000 stadium on it is a very attractive idea that would suit football and rugby perfectly. However, it would risk turning Westpac Stadium into a white elephant and there are far too many old-school cricket-heads around who would be crying about all the tradition and history at the Basin that would be lost.
