Voracious dinosaurs chasing and mauling giant effigies of Clive Palmer will be the daily star attraction in the just approved design for Townsville's huge stadium based on Rome's blood drenched Coliseum . The well known Kiwi / Australian filmstar , Russell Crowe , is in charge of the daily bloodbath entertainment when it is not provided by tame football clashes between the Cowboys and the Broncos.
In an exclusive interview , Crowe told Little Darwin , apart from the popular gory act in which Clive is repeatedly masticated and reduced to a small mound of steaming flesh about the size of a large pile of reject Chinese dim sims - hauled away by African dung beetles singing Hi Ho It's Off to Work We Go , gladiators will throttle each other with telephone cords , a magpie will peck the eyes out of assorted local hacks and a cardinal will be roasted on a spit.
All in all , wholesome family entertainment . A feature of the stadium is that it will not have a roof so as to catch any rain which falls once every 100 years in the city , forming a storage dam which will enable the Townsville City Council to stage splashy water follies starring Esther Williams and Dawn Fraser .
