I recently visited GMHBA Stadium to watch a Sri Lankan cricket match, and it was an outstanding experience. The stadium itself is fantastic, with excellent seating that provides great views of the action from almost every angle. The facilities are top-notch, featuring clean restrooms and a variety of food and beverage options. The atmosphere was electric, making it a memorable event for cricket fans. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Additionally, the accessibility and parking arrangements were well-organized, adding to the convenience. GMHBA Stadium truly lives up to its reputation, and I highly recommend it for any sports enthusiast looking to enjoy a high-quality game day experience.

You can get in but getting out of the Carpark and Geelong was a nightmare. Much more thought and planning needs to be given to vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic after the game. We will never go there again. A new and beautifully modern venue but totally inhospitable. Hopefully it will improve in the future.

It's a big metal pineapple. It's impossible to get service inside & equally impossible to connect to the free stadium WiFi. Wouldn't hate it if it were my local stadium, but it could use some improvements still.
