Docklands Stadium (Marvel Stadium) - Discussion

[aCunningPlan]

No issues personally with the place except the icy wind that occasionally whips through the La Trobe St gate and freezes any poor bugger in level one. Transport is second-to-none and if we ever drive I find Harbour Town parking a breeze. But then again I'm from Ballarat and go to most games at Kardinia Park where you sit in the cold and rain needing rain coats, beanies and sometimes even gloves (ask Richo) while standing on the concrete Gary Ablett terrace.

What's everyone's thoughts on the new coloured seats at the Coventry end?

What's everyone's thoughts on the new coloured seats at the Coventry end?

It seems like more and more yellow seats appear every time I watch. Just noticed the ones behind the Adelaide cheer squad. I wonder if they're steadily replacing all of the seats.

I would say the red ones will be yellow in the the not too distant future. It appears that whole end will be advertising for Four and Twenty.

Aren't the yellow seats for Four n Twenty and the Red seats for Heinz - so you have meat pies and sauce?!?!

It looks cheap nasty and terrible the different colour seats, horrid.

they started selling whole sections of the stadium to advertisers late last year. Other stadiums are expected to follow.

I still cannot believe they have astroturf around the boundary which isnt green!

Siren sounded strange in the telecast as well.

Regarding the Medallion Club, if I buy a one off seat on ebay or something is there a dress code applicable? If so how stringent is it?

I went last night on a free ticket a mate gave me. Seemed to be pretty similar to MCC in terms of dress code, although I did see some people in T-Shirts and jumpers so YMMV

Of note theyve changed thier security contractor. Its now RPG.

I don't feel truly safe unless security have rocket propelled grenades.

Probably best if you watch on TV then

What did you wear yourself then? Like most I am not used to dressing up for the footy so not sure how formal to be

But for 30 dollars more to experience Medallion Club for the first time it is worth a go

I just wore an open collard shirt, some chino pants and some nice shoes. No one was in suits, but everyone was smart casual on the upper side I would've said.

No open shoes, no tracksuits and no sleeveless tops (including guernseys. It's really relaxed these days.

So sneakers and collared shirt are pretty much good enough?

That's pretty much the SACA Members dress code for the cricket but every summer the Advertiser wails about how you have to "dress up" to get in

Basically none. I've never been knocked back or even questioned

The dress code at Medallion Club is fairly relaxed - no tracksuit pants, no sports shorts, no rubber thongs. Also, no sleeveless tops (eg. singlets or sleeveless footy jumpers) for men. Sleeveless tops for women are ok.

T-shirts, jeans and sneakers are allowed.

there is now blokes outside the gates scanning people with handheld metal detectors. I love getting out of the house and going to different matches but the whole experience is turning to shit.

That's happening at the MCG too. Is a bit annoying.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

I wonder what they like most about it. Is it the crushing 200 metre shuffle to the station after the game?

Odd how people who mention the congestion (which is annoying) don't have an issue with the longer, muddier walk to Richmond station where a worse bottleneck awaits.

Maybe it's losing sight of the ball because of the fluorescent advertising. That was the final straw for me. When they sacrifice spectator vision for the advertising dollar, you know they've finally lost their minds. I'll never go there again.

So you must not go to MCG games either.

What's so annoying about. Has to be done these days.
