We had a ball at the recent Broncos v South Sydney game. Nice seating, easy access to facilities. Only downside was vehicle meant to come pick up disabled client wasn’t allowed to drive near the stadium. All the access roads were blocked and manned. Strange.

The stadium was great and the grassed slopes were nice and easy to get up and down! The lights are good! Fireworks was great! When a big game is over they do not let anyone from the 3 grassed areas out onto Sportsmans parade through any of the gates at the front! 10,000 people and we had to squeeze out of a 4 metre opening, it was scary! OH&S would’ve had a field day! There should have more exits!
