I generally like Etihad, I have been to everything from AFL finals to WWE at that place, and it is a very comfortable venue, viewing wise. Worst thing about it is easily getting out after a game, can take 30 minutes to make the 500 meter trek to the station. Especially now that new office building has cut the concourse in half (and completely obscured the view of the ground from outside).
Don't really care about Subiaco, this isn't a "who has it worse off" pissing contest. How many times have you been to Etihad? What were the crowd sizes? I can tell you I've been to quite a few sell outs or crowds of 40,000 plus when it absolutely took 20 minutes or more to make it out of the stadium and onto the train platform. The issue is people coming out of various gates and bottle necking onto the small concourse, its like peak hour on Bourke St after a healthy crowd.
What kind of munchies? Things from home they generally aren't too fussed about, but it you blatantly try to carry Subway in or something from outside the ground they don't look favourably on it. The latter I just wrap up in my jumper till I'm through the gate.I was wondering, does anyone know if your allowed to bring some munchies in to the ground?
Just like a bag of chips and a couple cans of coke. I was thinking of carrying them in a small back pack.What kind of munchies?

Don't think they'll like the cans if they see them. Chips are fine, if you want coke take bottles.Just like a bag of chips and a couple cans of coke. I was thinking of carrying them in a small back pack.
I went with bottles of water instead of cans. They didn't even search my bag though even when I offered. They seemed more concerned on making sure I had my concession card.
Yeah, I've been to all of the Doggies games in Melbourne bar two, all at Etihad except 1 at the MCG (where I'm an MCC member so they don't check anything except clothes), and they've asked me for my concession card every time after being waved through by the bag guys without too much effort. I wonder what their deal is really, if I've purchased a membership and I'm going into the ground and buying food and such, what do they have to gain by telling me to piss off, in the event that I didn't have my card?
I've been to 26 games of footy this year, mostly in Melbourne and haven't been asked for my concession card once. I generally get asked for ID everywhere too.
Generally the Etihad Stadium Twitter (@EtihadStadiumAU) will mention it, or you can ask them there too.Is there anyway of knowing if the roof will be closed for a day game a few hours before start. Would like to know if it will be closed for nth v haw game this Saturday ?
Also the seats will be brought out for all Melbourne Victory home games this season except for round 1 v Heart.
I think what they need to do is have all members (doesn't matter what category member they are) have a seat no higher than level two. If you are currently a member that gets to go to 5 games a year or less you are forced to either buy a seat or sit up on level 3.
