AAMI Park changes

We are excited to be back to AAMI Park this Thursday when we take on the Sydney Roosters.

Things will look a little different when you first take your seat this weekend and we want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible for your first game back.

As you might be aware, AAMI Park is undergoing some significant and important redevelopments in preparation for the FIFA Women’s World Cup to be played this year. When complete, these redevelopments will provide Storm members and fans with a great experience for years to come.

We are working closely with Melbourne and Olympic Parks (MOP) to minimise the impact on both our members & fans on a game day, which is why we wanted to provide you with the following update.

The Big Screens within the seating bowl are currently being upgraded. The new big screen will be in operation for the first time in the South west Corner, the original screen will remain in the North east corner of the stadium and a temporary screen will also be operational in the North West corner of the stadium.

Some other things to note before arriving on Thursday night:

There is some internal construction on the Eastern side of the stadium that may impact walkways.
A new bar will be open pre-game located outside Gate 7.

As a part of the upgrades, there will be a corporate stage constructed in section 35 between aisle 31 – 32 which will impact General Admission seating in that area.

We understand some these interruptions, while temporary, may impact on you and others at the game. We appreciate your understanding and will continue to work with AAMI Park and MOP to make sure you have the best experience possible come game day.
