Which Dome?

Maybe if we all chip in we could buy the Dome? anyone got a spare Mil?

Don't the 6 saviours have some spare cash to buy the venue also?

Mark Lewis have some spare investment cash given the home loan business is still successful?

Thats a little harsh champ, to ask them to pony up again. I'm sure if the could afford it with the other members they would look at it if it makes business sense. They are by no means obligated to buy it though, is no small amount of change you find under your couch.

Well hopefully either myself or someone South Australian wins tonights Oz Lotto and we can use some of those winnings to buy The Dome.

As for my above comments, it doen't have to be the current saviours. Perhaps someone else might help out such as the Coopers family.

if everyone in Adlelaide buys my free mixtape, i'll buy the Dome lol The "Tru Blue Home Dome" sounds good to me... :-P (i'll also take donations hahaha)

Plenty of buyers - IF you could have conference, wedding,concert,church and the like there. But you can't - Govt. restrictions allow only sport there.

That was Adam Ballinger on radio just then.
Heard about it today. NOT for sure but THINKS Sixers MAY buy it.
MAY get it for the right price.

( all maybes I know - he's a player , not an owner,
but sixers lease should all be ok, and the possibility that they may buy it from the bank.)

They had a small thing on the news, which mentioned any potential buyers would have to buy it "as is" and that included the Sixers as tenants which are 1 year into a 10 year lease. You would think you get void that somehow though.

What happens to other competitions already playing there etc? Are their deals honoured?

They should buy it...Accountants and Lawyers, seems like they should be able to find a way to have less restrictions and turn it into a profitable stadium.

I once again blame Adelaides pathetic councils for the shamble that is this stadiums restrictions.

I thought this was about Coops getting a sponsorship/massage deal. Oops.

Boti today:

BASKETBALL is likely to be the big winner as a result of Ferrier Hodgson's involvement in determining the future of the sport's headquarters at Beverley.

The Brett Maher Court, formerly known as the Clipsal Powerhouse and Distinctive Homes Dome, is under administration now in the wake of the financial crash of its owner, one-time childcare centre magnate Eddy Groves.

But with the agents now acting for the Commonwealth Bank, the key to a reasonable re-sale value remains having long-term tenants.

Speculation on market value?

+1.5M?

The flamin' thing cost $17M to build.

And this comes on the back of the opening of the new Basketball Centre in WA (8 courts including 2 show courts), plus the new basketball facility in Vic out at Scoresby where BV will relocate to.

Where is SA's basketball venue?

The Dome is at Findon, West of the city. A few other multi-court venues (though without the sort of seating you'd need for an NBL game) are Wayville (very close to the CBD), Pasadena (further South), Starplex (out North), Morphett Vale (far South).

Pasadena has hosted about 800 people for a visiting college team and Wayville was, for a time, the Lightning's venue. For those games, they brought in temporary seating for each match.

Didn't forget them, just wanted to mention a few ("A few other...") without trying to provide an exhaustive list, missing one and getting accused of bias for hating whichever club uses that stadium as their home base!

Hopefully whoever buys the Dome will allow a night for the social comp again.
Probably been mentioned before but i thought the council owned car park land would be good for a multicourt stadium.
