We'd have to do better than India. We almost lost it to Sri Lanka. If they got it, I don't think anyone would have turned up.

Another 100 gold medals for Australia lol.

A free stadium upgrade from 25k to 40k for the Suns. Andy D will be happy. Not sure if the Suns could fill a 40k stadium though even in 7 years time when they'll probably be a top 4 side by then. The other main positive for footy up there is they'll need to build better public transport to and from the stadium.

Injects $2b into the local economy and 30,000 jobs which the Gold Coast badly needs at the moment
