Commonwealth games bid win also a win for the NBL

Read in the courier mail that because of the successful Commonwealth Games bid for the Gold Coast stadiums for Cairns and Townsville will be getting an upgrade for a total of 3 million dollars. Thats great news for those cities and the clubs of the Crocodiles and the Taipans.

It does not say exactly what the upgrades will be. I don't think it will be extra seating because unlike the other stadiums which specifically talks about the upgrade of seating it does not mention it for Cairns and Townsville.

Still great news for them to get any extra funding will be a great bonus and the commonwealth games basketball preliminary rounds will be played in those stadiums which is great for fans in cairns and Townsville.

You are of course assuming Australia takes basketball as a sport for the Comm Gaames. It is not one of the core sports, which is why it wasnt played in India.
