SB 117-30: The National Stadium Act - Passed

[DKrol]

Great nations have national stadiums. They are a point of pride. Atlasia should have a national stadium.

[DKrol]

Proposed Amendment to address that the capital may be moving, that football and soccer are different sports, and that our powers only extend to the property itself and not how surrounding private property is used.

Section 3: Stadium Requirements

1. The National Stadium must be located within the borders of Nyman the federal capital and be accessible within a half-mile walk of a public transit center.

2. The National Stadium must have no fewer than 75150,000 seats and be constructed in an all-seater format.

3. The National Stadium must have an all-grass playing surface suitable for both American Grid Iron Football and Association Football soccer.

4. The National Stadium must be convertible to host Olympic opening ceremonies, conventions, concerts, tennis courts, religious services, and public speeches.

5. The complex surrounding the National Stadium must include a mixture of business and commercial space, public green space, and affordable housing.

6. There shall be no minimum parking requirement for the National Stadium.

...

Objection.

Why wouldn’t the National Stadium include the complex around it? There’s fairly standard.

[DKrol]

Nay

Amendment as promised.

I also want to ask the Senate if the public transport option may be overly restrictive given there may not be a public transport system wherever we end up building this.

If there isn’t a public transit option where the national stadium is constructed, then there should be public transit links added. Surrounding stadiums with acres and acres of parking lots is one of the biggest wastes of urban space.
