Yeah if you want to stand you just buy the cheapest ticket and park yourself behind a block on level 1. Security don't move you unless you're standing in a disabled bay or something like that.

Found these today:

I also found this image which I have circled in red the seats that would be added in to increase capacity by 10,000 whilst not impacting the existing structure. Currently the last row of seats is infront of the roof trusses. It means the extra seats may end up with restricted views.

The stadium looks fantastic on TV. I like that trussed roof.
seems Tourism WA are happy:
Perth Stadium pulling tourists
Tourism Council chief executive Evan Hall said it was encouraging to see a surge in domestic demand, but cautioned many businesses were still doing it tough.
"It is still a real struggle at the moment," he said.
Mr Hall said major events at Perth Stadium were a crucial factor in the increased demand from interstate visitors, with the $1.8 billion venue hosting two AFL finals, English Premier League club Chelsea's friendly against Perth Glory, Test cricket and a Taylor Swift concert during the sample period.

Tourism enjoys a $1.5 billion rebound as domestic visitor surge bucks downward trend
A surge in domestic travellers has provided a billion-dollar boost to the West Australian economy, helping to offset a continually sluggish overseas tourism market.

The two Manchester United games this week have had a total attendance over 111,000
-edit attendance was only 105,500 oh no !
My favourite non Eagles Perth Stadium moment so far has been the Pink concert.The Stadium went big for that one.

New stadiums are engineering and architectural marvels. The PS has won a big international stadium design award.

Different grasses influence this I reckon, and the condition of the grass.
I always found the paint at AAMI always looked fainter than the G.
Surely they can make the lines bright no matter the type of grass. It isn't like it's rocket science.

I've noticed it as different but not that it's a problem. To me at least.
Tonight's game the centre square was barely visible & the boundary weak.
Looks like they are finally building the big outdoor screen in the amphitheatre just near the stadium.

Giant screen emerges outside Optus Stadium
Something fresh is happening next to Perth’s premier sporting venue.

Went to the dockers/swans game last week and it was like watching Disney on ice, Sydney players especially just slipping over constantly. Not as bad this week but plenty of players slipping. What's the story with the turf?
It's called rain
Haha piss off there hasn't been much rain the past couple of weeks to cause that. By logic the mgc should be the slippiest ground of all
Optus has been like an ice rink this season - to the point where the turf was sprayed with something prior to the WCE v COL game a few weeks ago. It’s a mystery as to why it’s so slippery.
There’s no carpark under the surface. The carpark runs in a ring road under the grandstands, there’s nothing under the surface except the drainage system.

Leederville oval would probably be more than adequate.
You'd need to expand capacity to around the 36k mark.

Only 36k turned up today for a game they had a good chance of winning when based on Geelong’s shocking form slump. If that is all they can muster up for a clash with the league’s #1 team in a perfect time slot then I would expect WAFL games to outdraw them more often than not pretty soon.
