ANZ Stadium

Why oh why do we continue to bring our home games to ANZ stadium?!I'm sitting here, 20 minutes before kickoff and looking at an empty stadium. Absolutely terrible. This game, as should ALL our home games, should be played at Pirtek Stadium. Id prefer to see 15-20,000 fans at parra rather then 15-20,000 fans at ANZ with 60,000 empty seats.I have no issue bringing finals games here if there is guaranteed to be 50,000+ at the game, but mid-season games should be at Pirtek and Pirtek only!

  • Couldn't have said it any better. I think management won't be renewing the ANZ contract unless they rebuild Pirtek. But once we have a modern Pirtek all comp games should be at Pirtek.

    Imagine the atmasphere at Pirtek tonight if the game was there. I would say that is at least an 8 point advantage. Sometimes the money from the ANZ contract is not worth what we lose in terms of home ground advantage and atmasphere.

    Go Thee Eels. Think Big

  • I'm sure they all will be once our stadium is rebuilt. Until then, it's great financially for the club as ANZ stadium pays a good amount to get games. If the knock down rebuild of Parra eventuates, we'll have to get used to playing out of ANZ for a few seasons.
    • Unfortunately money talks. Imo atmosphere is far more important than dollar signs.
  • But you're right, it looks terrible with an empty stadium.
  • Winning games is more important than both. No season home games at ANZ. Excuse me, I have to go watch us get beaten at ANZ.. 

  • Sydney's weather was rain and cold today.
  • Nah what is a contract?
  • And what is a dipshit?
