The new stadium in appearance and facilities is no different to the old stadium. Many people in Sydney believed it would be built with an enclosed or retractable roof at the very least. There is no point going to the new stadium if in bad weather attendees in the first 12 to 15 rows are still going to get wet. And just as importantly for concerts people sitting in the field are still going to get wet as well in the rain. We could see no difference/update in facilities in the area supplying food or seating and let’s face it once the seating is all gone inside where the food is sold/served people need to go outside and sit where to eat their food ?... on the ground which many people were doing how stupid..... what about bench seats outside. And to add further to previous comments agree the sound reproduction for concerts is not good and do not agree with the comment something along the lines ‘pay $200.00 for a seat but be prepared to stand’ no way should anyone be prepared to stand for that price when we paid for seating what about making it a condition sit ..not stand ...when seating has been purchased we didn’t pay for a mosh pit. .....could not see stage or screen even when standing. The staff at the concert had better views and didn’t pay for the privilege. Not a WORLDCLASS Stadium for the money...

Recently went to the Stadium for Elton John. Really nice & clean! Everything appears fairly new including the toilets which were maintained throughout the night. The layout throughout each floor of the stadium was like a sports bar! The size of the venue, really impressed me and I thought’ doesn’t matter what seat you bought here or ticket, you would be happy with as the stadium was just the perfect dimensions.

The food was unexpectedly good especially for these kinds of events. They had dumplings, fancy fried chicken, sushi, ect and fish which was decent and not battered. The only downfall was the food price minimum was $17 however, coffee was $4.50. Alcohol- usual price you expect to pay at events.

We caught the train and light rail in and It was raining that night. I was lucky to have not so bad of an experience and got on one of the first trams home however, the news said the next day the light rail broke down and left people stranded which would suck. There also was a huge line up for the light rail to & from the event but it came every 3minutes which probably made the crowed go fast. The downfall to the light rail and lining up in the rain was that there was no shelter to line up under.

Other than that, it was a good experience and I really...
