Resource Guide to Simonds Stadium and Geelong (last updated 2012)

Random question all....

Does anyone know the name off the place that sells the bratwursts and kranskys at the back of the players stand?
They are sensational and the missus is sick of me talking them up, and has threatened not to let me into the house unless I find out the name...

Does anyone else have a chuckle when they play the pre-game video of Mackie asking fans to respect their opposition fans like the players respect their opponents ?

Mackie is one of the biggest sledgers in the AFL

Ok I'm heading down the highway for the first time in years, the times I've been I've stood in the GA terrace, this weekend I've got seats innthe AR Jennings stand.

What's it like? i assume its not undercover?

 

[Liger]

How many people do they pack into the standing room area at the back of the Ablett Terrace?
Never had standing room before but my mate picked up 2 for the final.

Any hot tips, guides or recommendations for standing room tickets?
Thanks!

Get there early for a good spot

Get there early for a good spot

I'm thinking as close to the goals as possible is the best spot?

Hey Catters! I'm hoping some super helpful person who sits regularly in the premiership stand may be able to answer a stupid question for me.

I just bought tickets for the premiership stand Bay 3 row AA. My question is this... Is row AA right down the front on the fence, or is there row A to row Z and THEN row AA. In other words, how far back from the fence is row AA? (It may sound like a stupid question but the seating was like that at the old perth entertainment centre).

Hope that makes sense, cheers in advance.

or is there row A to row Z and THEN row AA.

This is how it is set up.

Thanks heaps mate. Legend.

So they're better seats than Players stand, lower level, Bay 4?

In my opinion, yes. Being a narrow, long ground, closer to the wing is better. Also sitting up that little bit higher means you can see more. Having said that, even the front row of the Player's stand is substantially higher than the ground itself (compared to front rows in every other stand)

Thanks mate. You rock.

Just a heads up- the queues to get into KP can be really long- an email to us is advising you to aim to get inside the ground by 2pm. I'd even get there earlier than that, I'd be aiming for 1.30pm.

Enjoy your day (but not too much )

What is front row at the top tier of the Hickey stand like?

Any obstructions?

The front row should be fine.Last year I was about 10 rows back and couldn't see the boundary in front of me.
