I think it’s objectively better.
Has everything Parra Stadium has, but more.

Unless you like a smaller stadium, which is fine.

I think once it's done Penrith stadium will be the best one of the lot.

I've been there twice for the rugby 7's. It is bigger and has more facilities, personally I don't care for them. I don't attend live events to stand in the line for terrible, expensive food or grog. I'm there to watch the footy and for mine the angle of the seats at Parramatta stadium is superior to the Sydney Football Stadium. All depends what you want, my enjoyment has nothing to do if the stadium is bigger or smaller.

They are the only 2 stadiums in Sydney though, the rest are all garbage dumps especially grounds with hills. Yuck

Come on now Hindy. It's a supersized version of Melita Stadium.


Penrith Stadium is going to be a huge POS.

The reason they knocked down our stadium and SFS is to make the seating better for the spectators to see everything and be closer to the ground.

Penrith is refurbishing the east and replacing the west.. will still be a shit place to watch the footy.

I wont be there Friday night as i hate going to a shit stadium after going to Commbank

Yes. Because points differential means nothing. I mean it may cost you a top 4 or top 8 spot but who cares...A wins a win.
It’s round one ffs. We don’t want to burn our players out.

Putting on a big score depends on the opposition giving up, rather than us trying to put on a big score. Either way, if we’re good enough over 25 rounds we’ll make the eight, and if we’re not we won’t.

I reckon you get 4 or 5 games a year where dominate possession against a weak side and able to pile on 40 points in the possitive. We missed a golden opportunity. It's about planning ahead.
They have a strong defensive side, very much like Penrith. With mobile forwards and good defenders in the halves. That’s why Hutchison started instead of Butthead.

You can burn your players out by putting big scores on teams when you have the vast majority of the possession? Very strange take.

Penrith Stadium is and still will be a shit hole after the 'refurbishment'. Add the fans, and piss head hill and I'd rather be watching it from the comfort of my lounge room.

We should have sold them our old stadium at the Blacktown Drive-In car boot sale. Win-win all round.
