Giants Stadium

Well we will now have a new transport option from Parra

Also a new M4 exit ramp.

Thoughts?

Hopefully a upgrade of pubs cafes and clubs is next in the agenda for the area.

The Sydney Olympic Park Authority is currently reviewing its masterplan with a view to significantly increase commercial, retail and residential development in Sydney Olympic Park. This will include shops, cafes, bars, eateries and restaurants, which will reinvigorate the Sydney Olympic Park town centre and help create a lively Stadium precinct.


For the love of all that is holy please get this done asap.

The place is dead before and after a game, any game.

When out at the V8s (thanks Giants) I saw a sign calling for tenders for a pub development near ANZ Stadium.

Great news.

One of the best things about Spotless was the lack of pubs around the place

My family are usually keen to get straight to the ground before a game, a kick to kick after the game, then straight to the train station.
Better transport options are always great, but more pubs or cafes won't effect me much.

Except it does affect crowds. Having nothing to do before and after a game is not a good thing for the area.

Surely some nice restaurants and a huge playground for kids is the way to go.

They are good things as well. But pubs and clubs are also needed.

Sydney Olympic Park is big enough to cater for all needs. Managed well, pubs and clubs can coexist with family friendly attractions. Plenty of examples around Sydnet and Canberra where this happens well. Accessibility is the key.

Strathfield-Olympic Park is a lot easier than the current Strathfield-Lidcombe-Olympic Park story. Definitely looking forward to it.

18,287 at Spotless tonight for the Sydney BBL derby.

So we got more for our derby than they got for theirs. Hmmmmm.


Well I say ours and theirs while wearing a lime green cap and sitting on Strathfield station at 11.30pm on my way home. We were part of the the numbers at both.

I was at that BBL game last night and it was weird being there with no Giants presence.
Still, a good night and decent crowd for Funder vs Suxers

I felt the same whilst there at the Easter Show. It's an odd feeling for sure

What is really odd about it is the look of the place without the extra seating etc during the show. The venue has quickly become synonymous with the home of the Giants to me. It feels like someone has come into my home whilst I have been away and rearranged all my furniture

21500 last night. Really good atmosphere, but we need to do something about the food and drink vendors for big crowds.

Looks like another strong crowd at Spotless tonight for the Thunder-Renegades clash. It's very unlikely the Thunder will host a finals match this season so this will probably be the last sporting event at Spotless until late April when GWS take on Hawthorn. It'll be interesting to see if the Thunder's successful move to Spotless translates into an increase in crowds for GWS.

What makes tonight's crowd even more impressive is the fact that there are two big tennis events currently taking place at the exact same time in Sydney Olympic Park. Just over the road at All Phones Arena is a full house for a tennis event involving Kyrgios and Nadal while just down the road at the tennis centre is the Apia International. All in the same precinct. Pretty incredible when you think about it.

...and last Thunder home game was on with the Liverpool Legends game. It's a great precinct; but needs some more food and drink venues.

Some nearby family affordable accommodation would also help

It was interesting that the first busy thunder game they struggled with massive lines at food vendors. This was easily fixed by adding food vans at the scoreboard end similar to the easter show.

I had a pork bun with pork belly in it that was ammmaaaaazing !!!

Is it rare to have more than one sport on at the same time in Sydney?
