Could This $30M Stadium Fix Australian Football’s Biggest Problem? | Building Blocks Ep.10
Q: How long would a 10,000-seat modular stadium take from design to completion in a typical project?
The design phase can take 1-3 months, fabrication 8-12 weeks offsite, shipping about 2 weeks out from foundation readiness, and erection on site 1-3 months, totaling roughly 9-12 months from start to finish depending on site conditions.
Our No.1 target once Berwick City was locked in
Q: What is the added pressure or expectation given the off-field filming and the ambitious goals?

Q: How would the A1-A2 model work in practice to avoid negative consequences for clubs that are not ready?
There would be clear off-field criteria to enter A2 (infrastructure, crowds, financial health) and a staged pathway to promote to A1, with protections for licenses and a process to ensure sustainability before ever jeopardizing professional status.
