Senator Pocock urges a $35 million investment in Viking Park to create a 10,000-seat venue amid ongoing stadium debates.

The Canberra Times

Senator David Pocock is renewing calls for the federal government to invest $35 million into Viking Park to turn the southside venue into a 10,000-seat boutique venue amid concern the city's stadium debate could drag on for "a decade or more."

A $35 million investment over three years would see Viking Park transformed into a venue which could cater for Super Rugby, A-League, NRLW and major community sporting fixtures.

Debate is raging on the future of an ageing Canberra Stadium as the ACT government forges ahead with plans for a new venue in Bruce despite calls for a new state of the art facility in the city.

Now Viking Park could emerge as an option to boost the city's sporting landscape, with Pocock outlining the need for Canberra to have a mid-sized venue capable of supporting elite and community sport.
