Love everything about this stadium! The stadium’s continuing relationship and support of the Knights allowed me to meet the hardworking, fabulous and legendary volunteer of 36 yrs, Maggie. Great concert venue too! The Paul McCartney show was well organised and ran smoothly. The team should be commended for their organisational skills. It was a sensational evening! Long live the Newcastle Knights and may the stadium remain a concert venue well into the future. Kind regards, Shelly

Women's State of Origin Game 2. Wet night, but fine under cover. Plenty of choice for food and drink, easy enough to exit. Uber pickup spot is in 7/11 service station funnily enough

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.

Great venue with excellent facilities. Home of the Newcastle Knights (Rugby) and Newcastle Jets (football). Good accessibility, service lifts. Easy to arrive in public transportation
