What exactly, sans demolition, made Waverley Park controversial? --Aika 22:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

The fact that:

It is in the "Melbourne Rain Belt" and such rain was a common feature at this ground
The fact that it was designed to be one of the biggest stadiums in the world
The fact that it was a nightmare for anybody from Melbourne CBD and the inner suburbsto get to the stadium
The fact that public transport was non existant
The fact that the VFL could (and should) have used it as a bargining tool to twist the MCC the way that they wanted them to do.
The fact that it was the traditional home of World Series Cricket, the rebel competition going up against the status quo
And, the design left patrons with weather protection akin to a bus shelter
