The two outbuildings on the left seems to have a camouflage pattern on the roof?

West Coast just announced Hungry Jacks are returning as a major sponsor for 2018.
Assuming they’ll be replacing Bankwest, not SGIO.
I think this confirms that Bankwest are pushing hard for the stadium name rights.
Bankwest Perth Stadium has a nice ring to it.

I wonder if it would be BankWest Perth Stadium - fixtures would show (BPS)
or BankWest Stadium (BS).
or BWS
or BankWest Stadium (BS).
or BWS
It looks good, a nice feature. Shame there won't be any, or very few, real night games due to time difference (AFL). Unless the AFL takes a gamble and schedules a second Friday or Saturday night game starting at a later time.
I expect any socceroos games, or other events where a world body rather than an East coast body is in control, to start at 730 local. or thereabouts

BPS most likely, can’t see BWS being allowed as that’s basically free advertising for the BWS liquor store chain

The roof sort of reminds me of the Maracana, I think it looks cool, especially with the lights.

Wow looks amazing!
Wow.. that's all kinds of awesome.
Holy shit that will be awesome on gameday, quite intimidating for opposing teams also I would think

Shame that the latest start time in Perth this year was 6:10pm
Is that small patch of green on the left side of the stadium the new practice wickets? If so, that will be cool as people can walk around the stadium and have a birds eye view of the players warming up.
EDIT: nevermind, just saw the near maps post above
Does look like the roof shades many seats on the upper tier of the southern side. Would love to see a timelapse video to see exactly how much it shades. I sat on northern wing at Subi, still looks like it would be best to avoid the southern side.
I reckon for winter you'd avoid the eastern end due to rain being blown in with the wind (maybe front half) and south-east due to the sun.
During cricket season maybe the front half of the north half of the stadium. So maybe best to be on the south side.
