What absolutely could be our disinct advantage over other codes, how could the A-League utilise the better NPL/old NSL grounds?
I keep thinking how truly unique the Sydney Derby FFA Cup SF at Penrith Stadium was and the magic everyone felt in-ground and watching from home.
Maybe FFA Cup matches only to be played at suburban grounds?
Only caveat is that some grounds like Edensor Park and Marconi Stadium are pretty dilapidated at the moment. We saw even Leichardt Oval break down a few seasons ago.
Because of all those fans.

Surely any day now the Liberals will come out and say "Yeah it's all too hard, so we've sold the stadium site to a Chinese high-rise developer in exchange for a generous donation to the party"?
Dan Snyder, owner of the Washington Football Team , does not need to be given any tax dollars for the purpose of building a stadium for his own enrichment.
The Washington Football NFL franchise is a long standing and successful entity in making money for Dan Snyder. An NFL franchise is not a charity, it's not a "part of the community" and has history has shown time and time again, giving money to large elaborate stadiums from tax payers is not a good investment.
It does not create high paying jobs, does not help the economy and does not provide a good return on the investment.
More so, the Washington Football franchise has shown time and again that it would be an even worse investment than other franchises. They can't even fill the stadium that they have now. Not because it's old, not because its hard to get to to, buit because the ownership has spent decades disappointing fans
The product on the field has been among the worst in the league since current ownership has taken part.
They are also currently under a congressional investigation for the labour practices.
