Anyone been the GIO stadium in Canberra?

I'm headed down there this weekend for a mate's surprise birthday. We're going to take him to the Raiders vs Warriors game 3pm Saturday (to get him out of the house before the party). Any advice on where or where not to sit? Is general admission ok?

    • Lol, that's good. Gee, you'd get all the excitement you want plus more.

  • I've been to Eels/Raiders games @GIO. My (Canberra-resident) mate and I have always sat in the grandstand, eastern side (named after Rugby players; can't recall name). A number of Canberra mates have said sitting at ground level at GIO is awkward viewing, due to the advertisement-heavy sideline displays. But I've always been higher so I can't report on general admission. The eastern (bigger) grandstand - maybe George Gregan Stand, now that I think of if? - has a few bars serving you food and drink pretty efficiently. 

    • Thanks Prof. 
      @Brissy I hear there's a few after work drinks at Parliament House on Friday night. Might drop by for a few.

  • Muttley im expecting a quality nude run from you, you wont be going back for a while, theres nothing to lose.

    What time is agreed to nude run?

    Who will you be tackling?

    • Mate don't spoil the surprise. I'll be lining up Papali, tackle out, full nude. It will be glorious. 

    • Haha Snake  Mutts please wear a storm beanie with matching thongs 

  • Mutt, can you please take a video of yourself and your mate(s) doing the viking clap - make sure you have a real serious look on your face like all the imbecilic Raiders fans always have.

    The viking clap is, without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest wank in the history of rugby league.
