Reviews for Higher Mark at GMHBA Stadium
Jessa Mae Venuto
Decent sized stadium that feels modern and has great food options and great lighting for night games. Have been a few times and when entering and leaving haven’t had no issues as there are plenty of exits from any area seating. Would be great if they had MORE parking available. Great place to see a home game for Geelong Cats 🐱🤍💙
Angela Pyke
We visited as members of an interstate team. We were very impressed with the modern stadium. Great what they can do with the lights after goals etc. Seats were comfortable. Toilets were clean. Oh and the donuts were amazing. And our team won!
Heath
Venue itself was great but the food was a big letdown, $22 for 4 tiny chicken nibbles and chips and $6 for out of date Pepsi. 😒
John Savopoulos
Great place to view AFL, especially when the Cats get the win! The redevelopment of the ground is outstanding and topped off by the new Selwood stand. Night games there have a great atmosphere.
Ian Nelson
Staff are very good at what they do.. First time there. I sat in different stands to work out seats for next time and staff were very helpful.
