That would be perfect as well, I think they need the stadium first though.

Anyone see the episode of Utopia where they proposed a massive stadium for Tasmania until they worked out they would never fill it.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

It would depend on the size of the stadium, and where they put it, I think at most there should be a 50k seat stadium down here. Which the population growth over the last decade they'd fill it with ease. Upwards of 30k had signed on to become members of the first Tasmanian AFL side, which they did a pre-membership drive.

Both Hawthorn and North Melbourne has decent membership numbers down here, so there's no way they couldn't fill a 50k stadium. Tasmania would do that with ease since there's something like 550k people now in Tasmania as of 2010.
