Reviews for Marvel Stadium

This is a modern, huge stadium, and a source of pride for Melbourne residents. I just passed it on my Sunday morning walk around Docklands. Its massive roof structure can open and close for spectators' comfort. Public transport connections are also very easy, making it convenient for us to change modes of transport.

I’ve lived in Melbourne most of my life and have been to Marvel a handful of times, but this was the first time I really paid attention to the venue — and it’s actually quite impressive. The seating is well designed and I’ve never had a bad view of the football, even from different spots around the stadium. Food options are varied and better than I expected, though the prices still make your eyes water for what’s often lukewarm stadium fare. The drinks options will keep most people happy and is better than what I've found in other stadiums. What surprised me most were the surrounds. Docklands used to feel a bit lifeless, but the area around the stadium is now open, clean, and tourist-friendly, with plenty of entertainment options. All in all, a well-run venue and I’m looking forward to my next game there.

It's a really good venue to watch footy. I like the fact there are a good number of screens on level 1 to help you follow the action when the ball is on the other side of the field and big screen behind the goal post. The staff member in the kiosk was very helpful helping me complete my purchase. Best of all Collingwoood had a win🖤🤍🖤🤍
Hammad Parwaiz
Fantastic stadium with a closing roof which means it’s nice and dry in the wet and nice and warm in winter. We’ve been here to watch BBL and AFL. Good atmosphere. GA seats on level 3 and limited seats on level 1 for AFL. Great vantage point for AFL. Lots of food and drink shops, reasonably priced. Minimal queue for coffee. Sensory room and prayer room available at level 1 aisle 3

I’ve been to Marvel Stadium many times over the years, back when it was Etihad and even Telstra Dome. My most recent visit was in June 2025 for an AFLM game between Collingwood and St Kilda. My partner and I took public transport in, which was super convenient with Southern Cross Station just across the bridge. For those driving, there’s plenty of paid parking nearby at DFO or throughout the CBD. The stadium has recently undergone some major exterior upgrades, including the installation of bright new external screens which were already in use for the match. One of the things I love most about Marvel is that it’s compact enough to easily do a lap of the ground. No matter where you enter, you can find your way around without too much hassle, which is especially helpful during AFL games. We entered through Gate 7 where, like most gates, there were long queues, but the entry process was smooth with self scan machines and staff on hand to help. There’s also a bag check, so it’s worth checking what’s allowed before bringing anything in. We got a little turned around and accidentally wandered up to level two (which is corporate seating) before finding our correct seats on level one, right behind the goals in Row T. The view was fantastic, clear sightlines of the field and the big screens showing replays and live footage meant we didn’t miss a moment. Even the standing areas had smaller screens so you could still follow the game when grabbing food or drinks. Speaking of food, while we kept it simple with chips and a Coke (plus a coffee for my partner), there were heaps of options available. The stadium has definitely expanded its dining offerings, with sit down dining areas on each level for those who’d rather watch the game from a TV. Everything is easy to access, and the vibe across the venue is great. A fun little bonus was trying our luck at the Heinz claw machine to win a plush fry. We didn’t win, but even while waiting in line, the game was visible from the nearby foyer screens, which are dotted all around the venue. Even with the roof closed for our game, it was a bit chilly inside. I’ve been here before with the roof open for other matches and events, and it always makes for a unique atmosphere. I’ve also been in the stadium for TV show auditions, so I know they have great multipurpose spaces including corporate suites and conference rooms. Accessibility is solid too, with elevators and ramps across all levels, plus plenty of accessible seating available. I really love Marvel Stadium, it’s been a staple in Melbourne for years and continues to evolve. The recent updates to dining and exterior tech have made a noticeable difference, and it’s clear they’re investing in keeping it fresh and fan friendly. They host a variety of events beyond footy and support great causes, so I’m keen to attend more events here in future. It’s a brilliant venue that feels like it’s only getting better with time, and I’ll always be glad to support it.
