SYDNEY FOOTBALL STADIUM TO DELIVER A SMORGASBOARD OF EXPERIENCES

Work on the state-of-the-art Sydney Football Stadium continues to progress with Minister for Sport Geoff Lee yesterday announcing completion of the concourse. 
 
“This is a major construction milestone, allowing us to see and feel what the fans will experience when the Stadium hosts major events next year,” Mr Lee said.  
 
“The concourse will offer 35 food and beverage outlets, merchandise stands, and accessible amenities for the 42,500 fans who will fill the Stadium.
 
“This project is boosting the local economy, supporting 800 jobs during construction, with more jobs on offer once the Stadium is complete.”
 
John Holland General Manager Matthew Bourne said the new Sydney Football Stadium will be a leading sporting and entertainment venue for the people of NSW.
 
“This state-of-the-art Stadium will build on the already strong entertainment and sporting culture in Sydney and NSW,” Mr Bourne said. 
 
Construction of the Stadium is supporting local businesses with almost $300 million worth of contracts awarded to NSW-based suppliers and contractors so far.
 
The next step is to build the roof, which will involve 4,000 individual pieces of steel, most of which is manufactured in Western Sydney by the same company that built the roof of the original stadium in 1988.
