Do you know what that huge shed thing is that's behind outback spectacular?

It's really weird

If you're referring to the one being built right behind AOS, it's been referred to several times on the forums already.

It's Sound Stage 9, which is being built to accommodate events during the commonwealth games.

This also probably didn't need it's own thread and could have been asked in the random \ off topic topic.

Sorry, why they using it for the commonwealth games?

You know what google is right?

There is a very substantial building being built immediately behind Outback Spectacular. 

There's also a section of the carpark fenced off.

No signage to indicate what it's going to be. Anyone?
