The published sequence

The state procurement material calls for detailed proposals during 2026 and identifies 2031 as the target for an operational arena. Site investigations and design work occur before a preferred proposal and construction program can be settled.

The date to treat cautiously

The 2031 target is not a published opening-day guarantee. Procurement, approvals, site conditions and delivery decisions can change the construction sequence, so milestone announcements matter more than an indicative end date.
