Optus Stadium, also known as Perth Stadium, is a multipurpose venue that was established in 2018 in Perth’s Burswood suburb. Notably, it was developed with a “fans-first” concept and designed to host a wide range of events like cricket, AFL, and musical concerts, and it delivers an exceptional spectator experience.
The stadium holds a seating capacity of approximately 60,000, expandable to 65,000 for rectangular sports and up to 70,000 for concerts. Perth Stadium stands among Australia’s largest venues. It features modern amenities such as LED-based floodlights to host day-night matches and large video screens, with a one-of-a-kind, extensive roof coverage that protects 85% of spectators.
The stadium features a drop-in pitch (portable, removable pitch). The turf-based surface offers livelier conditions, favoring fast bowlers; however, it remains a batting paradise in the limited-overs game with its lightning-fast outfield.
