Following last week’s announcement that the State Government will support the redevelopment of Sydney Showground’s, Team GWS can now unveil the exciting artist impressions of how the venue will look in 2012.

The Showground’s redevelopment will mean Team GWS fans will now be able to enjoy a modern 25,000 seat stadium to showcase home games from season 2012. Families will enjoy first class facilities allowing the club to create a great experience for the fans.

The redevelopment will include

· New grandstands to the North East and South East of the stadium.

· Installation of a new high definition video scoreboard and public address system

· Bringing the venue up to AFL Standards with new facilities for broadcasters, media, players and officials.

· In addition to the Royal Easter Show and home games for Team GWS, a multi purpose venue which could also be used by other sports including cricket, rugby league, rugby union and soccer as well as other forms of entertainment including concerts and festivals.

· Increased usage of existing infrastructure at Sydney Olympic Park including public transport, function facilities, restaurants and car parks.
