Guest, but I've been given tickets to select a team from my own work so also hosting them I guess.

I've seen people in boardies and singlets. Hell even I accidentally wore ugg boots into the club once

Have been to 3 games in those suites now, great set up, particularly the more centre wing you get.
Not sure what "other areas" you mean, but the stairs to the suites come straight from the GA section on the ground level.
But once you are in there, no reason to leave really, free full strength drinks and several courses of food.
Once you are in the suite area, there is nothing stopping you from going into other suites, weather or not you know those people and or they let stay is up to them..... haha.

Thanks mate. Other areas I guess refers to certain invite only bars, exclusive zones you cannot access with a grandstand pass. It sounds as though I'll be well accommodated in the suite!
The VFL have already sussed out a few reasons ....basically we have too many Key Forwards who get infringed in marking contests , We duck our heads , we don't tackle we corale !!

Hi guys,
I have already posted this in the new Perth Stadium thread but for anyone not following it then please refer to below if you're interested in participating.
Good to see the footbridge will be opening for the Freo vs. Port game this week.
As some of you would already be aware, I am doing my final year research project on the Perth Stadium Transportation which I have been very impressed by!
I'm looking for people to complete my second and final survey with regards to patron transport satisfaction at Perth Stadium prior to the opening of the Matagarup Bridge.
A $50 Camfield voucher will be given to a random person that has completed the survey and can be used the next time you head to the stadium. Just like this post after you have done the survey.
Please PM if you have any questions regarding the survey or my studies.
Cheers

Has anyone caught the train to Optus from Burs wood before? Does it stop at Optus or keep going to Claisebrook then you change train and come back?
The latter is what Transperth is suggesting but it doesn't sound right.

Parked near Empire Bar before the derby and caught the train from Burswood. It does stop at the stadium.
would only be a 25 min walk (Assuming paths open etc)
Have walked before but looking at a plan B due to rain. Turns out they definitely do stop - I had the wrong date plugged into the website
It normally takes me about 15min to get to the stadium from the Merrywell.
Unless it's raining super hard, you'll be fine with a jacket and brolly.

What's the parking in East Perth like? Anyone have any recommendations?
The oval shape has helped us win away this year in my view ......it’s close to the mcg
And we can utilise our kicking game that Simpson has developed
I haven’t been to the stadium, I live in rural wa and it’s tough getting away
But hoping to see Melbourne play

Getting to the stadium from the Mandurah Trainline . In the past caught the 661 shuttle from the Elizabeth Quay busport.
Now we were emailed to walk up the hill to St Georges Tce cos the Bus Port shuttle doesnt go anymore cos the bridge is finished. So you do the walk up the hill to St Georges Tce catch the bus to the bridge. The area all around Gloucester park is temp fenced . Looks like a refugee camp. The area near the new bridge is like a Pilbara ore wharf with rubble and machinery, a eye sore. The 370 metre long bridge foot surface isnt finished , some areas are shiny concrete and slippery when wet. Then its the 250 metre walk to the stadium. Well its a winter sport and this is diabolical. A lot of members down South are elderly and I m dissapointed for not just myself. The 46000 attendance doesnt surprise me and this new Stadium route will deter thousands of us. I dont think I will renew my membership next year its a 3 hour trek to the stadium and a 3 hour return. So its a 81/2 hour event. Anyway I was gonna post this in the positive negatives but it really doesnt affect everyone. Only those of us on the Southern line.

I loved the new stadium, truely awesome. Better than the G and I'm Victorian, it's disappointing the AFL didn't look to have the grand final at rolling locations. I a grand final there would be epic.
Sounds like you've been doing it wrong all season.
The easiest way is getting off at Canning Bridge, walking up stairs (or lift) and hopping on an express bus to Optus Stadium.
Quicker, and less walking than both the previous 661 or transferring trains at Perth options.
Thanks mate, will do that. It still doesnt alter how poxy the walk bridge idea is. Apparently its all fenced off for pedestrians and cars , they only shuttle busses there. It is nothing like scenic coffee shops or bars that would be logical . Even the Gloucester Park restaurant and bars arent able to be utilised. But that walk bridge isnt worksafe the polished concrete should be a rough finish it is truly a dogs balls down there .
