Sportingbet Stadium will look very different as we continue to improve our fan day experience. To celebrate the opening round and the family friendly time of 4.30pm, Panthers are hosting a family fun day with extra activities for all children and big kids alike:
- Kidz Korner now boasts new and improved fun stuff including, super slide, cup & saucer, bungee trampolines, pass the ball, jumping castle, face painting, balloons plus loads of fairy floss.
- Notable transformation of the fan experience at Sportingbet Stadium is the introduction of a vastly improved audio visual experience. Fans will notice not one, but TWO new high definition screens . Initially a temporary solution until our very own monster screens arrive a little later in the season, measuring 48sqm and 43sqm respectively., a whopping 75% increase on screen real-estate area from last year.
- An imaginative new merchandise experience with the creation of a new store, in a new location, with an entirely new feel. You have to see it to believe it.
- A variety of new food and beverage options and for the first time at Sportingbet Stadium 2 tier pricing for members and non-members.
- Check out the start of our Panthers branding developments in and around the stadium, including new and prominent feature wall, an impressive new 6 meter LED Panthers display on the Western Grandstand, all new LED sign/displays over the western and northern entrances at Sportingbet stadium too are just the beginning of the transformation to rebrand the home of the Panthers.
- New supporters bay The Den is primed and ready to rock the house.
