I agree it's beautiful but I would add Broadbeach to that. Surfers is for the tourists, of which many think Surfers IS the Gold Coast

When I went back to Perth end of last year to visit friends and family I got the old 'isn't the Gold Coast party town?' question from people. It's a good laugh as there is way more clubbing in Perth.
yeh, my friends etc back I perth assume I live in a high rise in surfers...
Yep agree with you

Thanks. She is taking my daughter to Seaworld on the Sunday so is going to stay at Chevron Renaissance. She can easily catch the G from there to South Broadbeach Station and then the shuttle bus to Metricon Stadium.
In relation to tickets, Metricon Stadium needs to update their website as it says tickets are available from Ticketmaster, when in fact it is Ticketek.
They would like to sit undercover. Based on the seating map, the best option available to them is going to be aisle 206

I noticed this too. A big change from last year. Ticketek is ******* putrid - why on earth did it change?!
Missed a quarter of footy last night lining up for the kids fish and chips and a Sprite

Are all of the seats on Level 2 under cover
7.25pm match at Metricon, the only reason you'd need cover would be for rain
Pretty dry in May

The Gabba surface after the Adele concert. I'm all for concerts at Metricon to raise revenue but geez they make a bloody mess.

Does that looked as though they have pulled the turf up to fit the stage in?
Royal Pines is a good shout for those going to a game (who have a car!). Relaxing and slower paced weekend than one involving Surfers and busses.

From Fox Footy... Just how much our new facilities have already helped.
“They were poor and archaic the facilities the Suns had up until February. You already notice the players since they moved in, the smiles on their faces, more players stay longer, more players come in after hours and on weekends and during their time off.
“You think it’d aid rehab, recovery and performance and, possibly down the track, aid player retention as well as attracting players.”

Stadium is fantastic but they need to sort out parking. Some people can;t get the bus (e.g. very young kids like me).
We knew parking is tight, but there is no signage or anyone to help. We followed the traffic towards the golf club to be told it was full, that we could not turn around, and that the best they could advise was we do a 3km loop and try again.
If I were a local and it were my first time, I might not come again.
P.s. great performance by your boys.

Parking is an issue but all the locals are pretty well informed that there is no official parking at the Stadium
It's on every motorway alert North and South on gameday for starters
The problem is the only way in is the buses and I agree if you have young kids its not easy
The cost would be enormous for something used only 10 times a year. Money better spent on getting the light rail to the stadium or a dedicated bus lane from Nearang station to Broadbeach

No it wont be light rail. Highly likely to be busses from all the major hubs though
ok i thought they were trying to get it for the games. nevermind i hope they do get it soon
Nerang light rail is well behind Coolangatta in terms of planning
Public open day for the Comm games side of our new complex tomorrow morning if people are keen for a squiz.
