[edit] Claimed 50,000 capacity

The article claims the stadium can be expanded to hold 50,000 people. The only articles I can find that mention 50,000 are ones saying major events where 50,000 people are expected will be moved to the Telstra Dome. Please provide a citation for this claim.

There are loads of articles out there on the foundations that will allow for future expansion to 50,000. Have added just one. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 08:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Does this stadium have a proper name yet? I have seen it referred to as "Swan Street Stadium"/"Swan St Stadium" in a few articles. No doubt there will be a naming rights sponsor but it'd be better to stick to a neutral name as per Docklands Stadium/Stadium Australia/Sydney Football Stadium etc. -- Chuq (talk) 01:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Nope, still known as the MRS until somebody buys some sort of naming rights to it. Normy 01:32, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
