Tenders closed on 5 August 2009 for the pavilion extension to accomodate MFC and which will also provide better facilities for the Scorps and other clubs using the complex.

The contract was awarded to a builder at a Special Council Meeting on 11 August 2009.

A very quick turnaround time!

Site works commenced a couple of weeks ago with an off-contract levelling of the site so that the builder could get cracking earlier.

Aim is to be completed in March 2010.

Thanks for the update Casey Scorp,"If they/you build it, they will come!" - Field of Dreams.

Thanks Casey Scorp.

Will the new development contain additional seating for the public? There seems to be very little seating at the ground ATM considering the aspirations some people have for this ground.

This is another step forward to an elite training precinct that we are going to have congratulations on the Casey council for getting this thing started so quickly.

No additional seats in this development. This development is primarily about facilities for MFC and the Casey Scorpions, but there are additional benefits in more covered standing area for spectators on the pavilion side of the ground and improved change rooms and coaching facilities for visiting clubs.

Additional seating will be a matter revolving around future funding opportunities and match allocation (NAB Cup, VFL finals, low crowd AFL Premiership matches).

Good news. cheers CS.

They should keep the whole connection to grass roots footy strong, by developing the other side of the oval into a place where cars can park an watch from the sidelines! -perfect for that mid-winter weather! I'd be there every week if i could have the comfort of my car heater blowing in my face!!

hmmm - just thinking about it a bit more..

-Clear enough area around the perimeter so cars can get in and out..

-Charge $10 per car - x 30, 40, 50 cars, whatever they can fit.. $$$!

(Say $100 for the 10 or so home games played there each year)

-Good way to raise revenue and boost crowds??

Id be 1st to purchase a 'Casey Scorpions Season Parking Pass'!! :D
