The ACT Brumbies will push for a "state of the art stadium that will last the test of time" when they meet with the ACT government, adamant a Bruce facelift would be a band-aid solution.
The Brumbies' call comes as Canberra Raiders chairman Dennis Richardson declared "there's a limit to the amount of lipstick you can put on any pig" in pushing for a brand new venue.
The ACT government plans to spend more than $500 million to build a 30,000-seat stadium at Bruce by 2033, with Chief Minister Andrew Barr set to commit to a sixth feasibility study to assess stadium location options.
