Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews will this morning announce that plans for the state to host the Commonwealth Games in 2026 will be cancelled, the ABC understands.
There is a nice pedestrian connection planned over Main St, but I’m not seeing any proposed changes to Stanley St or Vulture St, or anything west of the CRR Gabba station, which would be required to make the connection to Southbank nice.
so they can complete with other large stadiums in Australia for events
Honestly I’m not really sure this is it. Taylor Swift isn’t coming here on this tour, but supposedly if she had come it would have been to Lang Park, not the Gabba. She’s playing at an NRL stadium in Sydney and a cricket/AFL one in Melbourne. I don’t think stadium size is the reason for not coming, and I doubt it is for any other events.
