AFL Toyota Premiership 2008

Cost: $10 per vehicle

Parking: Patrons are able to park in one of two designated parking areas:

Exiting Police will be directing traffic immediately following the end of the game. Patrons are asked to be aware that when exiting from the Basketball Stadium cars will be directed to the RIGHT and when exiting from Alabaster Road cars will be directed to go the RIGHT. This is to stop a build up of traffic.

Over the summer break the AFL have been working closely with Gold Coast City Council to upgrade the stadium for your comfort and enjoyment.

We are sure you will appreciate these upgrades which have given the venue a new lease of life. We've added nearly 1000 new seats at either end of the ground on the terraces steps, resurfaced every seat in the stadium in one colour, painted exterior and interior grandstands and improved signage and directions for your convenience.

Plus our friends at Fosters and Queensland Catering have worked together to create the "Carlton Mid Boundary Riders Bar". This is a public marquee bar behind seating section 8 at the Southern End of the ground.  Grab a refreshment or two while waiting for friends, enjoy a beer at half time or join us for the post match interviews and giveaways.

Add in some cracking AFL games with some great teams, and AFL on the Gold Coast has never looked better.

Please note with the addition of new seats in the stadium, stand names have changed. Stands are now conveniently numbered 1-19. Please refer to your stand number, aisle number and seat number when taking your seat.
