[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 126997"] Well the only other stadium in the city is Medowbank and it's a shambles. I don't know what it holds. It had been suggested Almondvale, Livingston's ground. But Livingston is a) a hell hole and B) not in Edinburgh so that's that out the window. Edinburgh Rugby and the Council are keen to build a stadium for rugby and athletics, and I think that is the likliehood. However, the designs weren't popular and I think they are being re-done. I think the finance would be in place through Edinbugh, the council, sport scotland and various other governing bodies. There's certainly plenty of room in the city, even if it be on the outskirts as suggested. Another option is redeveloping Medowbank. It probably wouldn't happen though, i don't think the SNP are keen on it. It would be an advantage in that it's near the city centre and easily accesable. Other sports use it too, so maybe those governing bodies would contribute something to the cost. However, it's so far gone and it would require massive redevlopment to turn it into the state of the art facillity Edinburgh chiefs want. In any case, we're stuck at Murrayfield for the time being.
