Attended to watch a n Australian Rules football match. A very large stadium which is well laid out with good facilities. Large screen video is supplied to allow close up views of the plays. A great atmosphere in the arena. Family friendly. Parking is available but some areas are blocked off to allow pedestrian access need to go early. Only 44100 attended on the day of my visit so plenty of room it can hold over 100,000!

I’m American and have only seen two cricket games and yet I still loved the tour. Peter, our guide, did a great job. The tour lasted 75-mins. It moves quickly so you see everything. There is time to take pictures and our guide took some for everyone as well in certain spots if you wanted them for your group . You need to be comfortable walking quite a bit and walking quickly. Our group was a reasonable size. There are lifts and I’m sure they offer special tours for those less ambulatory.

Great stadium, huge but well organised. It was easy to get inside the stadium and find our seats. The canteen/ restaurant was big and it served food and drinks with reasonable prices. Staff were very nice with great custumer services, security guards were friendly and helpful. Toilet was clean and easily accessible. Even though there was a huge crowd of 100,000 people attending the event, we walked and exited easily. The concert of was out of this word. What a great experience we had!!!
