Attended for the first time for purpose of a concert. Getting to the location is fairly straight forward, parking however can be an issue although lots of public transport available. Plenty of staff that were friendly and helpful finding correct seating areas etc. Having sat for hours on end the seats weren't too bad and the stadium was in general clean. It was quite disappointing however that the toilets were not cleaned prior to gates opening especially when hosting such a top notch artist for people to come to. Every toilet in the male toilets was disgusting and went in straight after gate opening. Only other let down was the quality of the food for the price and cost of water at that price it definitely wasn't holy water..

A very good venue for concerts. Being smaller than the big capital city stadiums, this was much more pleasant experience and getting a good view was not hard. The food truck area was welcome and gave choice over the standard food options in the stadium. Drinks of course were stupidly expensive. Access was easy and finding parking was not difficult. The option of bus shuttles is also great for getting in and out of the stadium.

My experience Tuesday for the Paul McCartney concert was a positive one. Lovely stadium and great Newcastle venue. I prefer this location than going to the vineyards for big concerts but I agree it isn't easy for the elderly or infirm to navigate the steps. Transfers from the train to the stadium was well organised. Police helped crowds get across the busy roads at the end of the day . Organisers should be proud.

Newcastle and Panthers game..... great atmosphere. Easy access, no line up, was quick getting in and seated. We had great seats, 3 rows from front on 10 metre line. Great game.... well done Panthers 👏

Today we attended the Newcastle Jet's v Western Sydney Wanderers Half-time Hero's match representing Port United FC (Port Macquarie NSW). The kids had a great time, great venue, the food was reasonably priced.... $5.80 for a small bucket of chips 🍟 overall great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back
