AAMI Park Changes

We are excited to be back to AAMI Park this Thursday when we take on the Brisbane Broncos.

We are working closely with Melbourne and Olympic Parks (MOP) to minimise the impact on both our members & fans on a game day, which is why we wanted to provide you with the following update.

The Big Screens within the seating bowl are currently being upgraded. The new big screen will be in operation in the Southwest Corner, the new screen in Northeast corner of the stadium has be installed but will not be working this week and a temporary screen will be in operational in the South East corner of the stadium.

Some other things to note before arriving on Thursday night:

There is some internal construction on the Eastern side of the stadium that may impact walkways.
A new bar will be open pre-game located outside Gate 7.

As a part of the upgrades, there will be a corporate stage constructed in section 35 between aisle 31 – 32 which will impact General Admission seating in that area.

We understand some these interruptions, while temporary, may impact on you and others at the game. We appreciate your understanding and will continue to work with AAMI Park and MOP to make sure you have the best experience possible come game day.
