Optus Stadium

When you think of Optus Stadium, a large, modern sports and entertainment venue located in Perth, Western Australia. Also known as Perth Stadium, it's one of the largest stadiums in Australia and a key hub for major sporting events and concerts. Built in 2018, it replaced the aging Subiaco Oval and quickly became the go-to spot for big games, big crowds, and big moments.

Optus Stadium isn’t just a place to watch a game—it’s designed for the experience. With over 60,000 seats, crystal-clear sightlines, and a roof that covers every single one, it works whether it’s blazing hot or pouring rain. It’s home to the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers in the AFL, and it regularly hosts international cricket matches, including Tests and T20s. The stadium also pulls in major music acts, from global pop stars to local legends, making it as much a cultural center as a sports ground.

What sets it apart? Location. It’s built right next to the Swan River, with easy access from the city center and major highways. Public transport runs straight to the gates, and parking? Plenty of it. The food options are local, the screens are huge, and the vibe? Electric. Whether you’re there for the roar of the crowd during an AFL finals match or the hush before a cricket final over, you feel it.

You won’t find many stadiums in Australia that match its scale and tech. It’s got Wi-Fi for everyone, cashless payments, and apps that help you find your seat, order food, or even skip the line at the bathroom. It’s built for today’s fans—no fluff, no fuss, just the game and the energy.

And while it’s not in India, it shows what a world-class venue looks like. If you’ve ever wondered how a stadium can elevate a sport, Optus Stadium is the answer.
