Well after spending just over $700 per ticket for Elton Johns last ever concert in Sydney I am very disappointed to say that i will never buy tickets at this venue again. Sound quality poor and got absolutely soaked. Can't control the weather but should spend that sort of money and get completely soaked because it is raining. Very unsafe and to be honest ridiculous for the size and importance of this concert. Bit of a joke really.

For a newly built stadium there are inadequate openings for air to flow through so stifling hot and uncomfortable. Few fans around the ground attached to the roof would be helpful. Parramatta stadium best for Sydney 7s.

You will have to park in the parking station at considerable cost. Make sure you pay for your parking ticket before entering the stadium as the lines for the pay machines are extremely long after an event. Best to go by train if it is a big event.

Went to the Taylor swift concert, absolutely loved it. Made the biggest mistake of parking there. It was super organised when we got there with tons of staff and police to help you into your spot.
4 booth set up to collect your $20 for the parking fee. It was at the end of the event taht it wasa whole different story, absolute chaos, not 1 person helping to organise the traffic, it took us 1hr 10 mins to leave the parking lot. It is just mind blowing that for a venue that has events on a regular basis there is absolutely no system in place for the car park. If you plan to drive and park at the venue make sure you have a full tank and an empty bladder as it could take up to 2 hrs.

6 of us went to a concert. Was worried about taking my 13 year old daughter but all went well. At the gates there was a huge amount of rubbish,chairs, clothes and blankets from the people who had slept over night to get a good spot, thought they could have cleaned it up. It was an eye saw.
Concert was a sell out but we didnt have any problems with food lines (they did run out of many things before the main concert started)
Toilet lines were long but moved quickly and were clean. Would have liked to have seen more security walking up and down the rows as there were people throwing their drinks over the edge to us below.
Good disabled parking and good signage letting people know what door they were allowed to go into and where it was.

As a concert Venue.. not the best. As a football Venue The best Stadium to watch football in. This stadium was purpose built for Rugby League. Unlike ANZ you are not 2-500 meters away from the action. I like the corporate suites here as you have great viewing and the whilst they are not a "swish" as ANZ you have superior viewing options.

We went to a Sydney FC Game when we were in the city the stadium is very impressive the Home fans were very passionate and kept up a great atmosphere before during and after the game.
It catered very well for families with a Movie on the Giant screens before the match and characters from the movie walking around letting the kids have photo ops with them. The food was good from the vendors, as the sun went in we reached for the coffee and hot chocolate to keep us warm.
The tickets were not expensive and we sat higher up under cover of the stand. Sydney won the game and we walked back into the city with the singing of the passionate fans it was a great evenings entertainment!

The NSW Government spent $800+ Million to re-build this stadium over the last 3 years. Last night’s A League opener was an eagerly-awaited return to Moore Park for Sydney FC fans.
Despite the hype and fanfare, the aesthetic and acoustic improvements, unbelievably EVERYONE in the lower tier around the ground got soaked through because the roof has been built to provide nowhere near sufficient cover to patrons to keep them dry. You couldn’t make it up. You buy a Platinum ticket and you still get drenched. In a world where almost every new world-class stadium is being built with a retractable roof…NSW citizens get the same old-world design, but that’s ok as long as there’s more digital signage to pump adverts out to fans.
I will not be returning if there’s even the possibility of rain on match=days. Ponchos are so 80s…

A nice enough stadium to watch the footy and that’s about it. But then, would you need anything else ? Well yes, For the price you pay, you would like at least a descent cup of hot chips, Or a nice hamburger, But no, So dissatisfied and disturbed by the food and pricing. Eat something big before you go. Just a real shame.

The parking and access to the stadium where well controlled and orderly. The food stalls sadly were a bit of s let down in terms of variety, cost and queues.
