Events / Sport / Venues

The new Skoda Stadium at the Sydney Showground, home of the Greater Western Sydney Giants, opens today.

Over the past 18 months, the Sydney Olympic Park venue has been transformed into the GWS Giants' new home.

The $65 million facility upgrade has resulted in a boutique 25,000-seat stadium, boasting the largest stadium screen experience in the Southern Hemisphere.

GWS Giants play their first home game at the Skoda Stadium on Saturday 26th May when they take on the Essendon Bombers.

NSW Premier and Minister for Western Sydney Barry O'Farrell, NSW Minister for Sport and Recreation Graham Annesley, Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Chief Executive Michael Kenny, and Greater Western Sydney Giants Chairman Tony Shepherd officially opened the stadium this morning.
