Stooke said the multi purpose stadium was going to be a great facility, not only for AFL but for rugby too.
"Any loss of membership that we have had, 90% of it has been the stadium they have had to watch the game at these days," Stooke said.
"It (the new stadium) is not perfect, but it is 85% of the way. The fact that we have retractable seating means that spectators can get very close to the action."
