Western Sydney Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Parramatta, Australia.
Western Sydney Stadium is a multi-purpose arena in Parramatta, New South Wales. The rectangular layout has steep grandstands that hold up to 30,000 spectators under covered seating areas.
The site served as recreational land from 1788 and changed from a horse racing track to Cumberland Oval. The new construction was completed in 2019 and replaced the previous facility.
The name Parramatta comes from the word 'Burramatta', which refers to where eels lie down in the local language. Visitors can see Aboriginal artwork and ceremonial spaces woven into the venue's design that reflect this connection to the land.
The main Parramatta transport hub is within walking distance so visitors can arrive on foot. Multiple entry gates lead to different sections depending on ticket category.
The venue introduced special standing sections for the first time in an Australian stadium, similar to those found in European football grounds. These zones allow spectators a more active experience during matches.
