Construction of the new Allianz Stadium has now reached the 90 per cent mark following the installation of the final roof fabric, with the Stadium ready to host its first event in September.
\u00a0
Premier Dominic Perrottet said once fully complete, the new Allianz Stadium will ensure NSW continues to attract world class sporting and entertainment events.
\u00a0
\u201cThe new Allianz Stadium will be a fitting home for some of Australia\u2019s biggest sporting and entertainment experiences, and we can\u2019t wait to open it to the public in time for the first event in September,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\u00a0
\u201cWith the roof now finished, you can truly get a sense of what fans, athletes and performers will experience when this stadium opens the gates.
\u00a0
\u201cThe new SFS will not only help attract the world\u2019s most exciting events to Sydney but also deliver a great boost to local tourism and create additional jobs for NSW.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
More than 4000 individual pieces of steel make up the new stadium roof, with a combined weight of 2000 tonnes of steel used in the fabrication.
\u00a0
Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Tourism and Sport and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said about 1,100 jobs have been supported on site during the build, with thousands more offsite and many more to come once the stadium is open.
\u00a0
\u201cAlong with creating jobs we are also making sure we support local businesses throughout this project. The steel from the now completed roof has been fabricated in Western Sydney by S&L Steel, the same company that built the roof of the original stadium in 1988,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\u00a0
\u201cThis stadium will give NRL, A-League and rugby fans a phenomenal viewing experience, closer to the action in a rectangular stadium that will become the envy of sporting fans across the country.\u201d
\u00a0
Minister for Infrastructure, Cities, and Active Transport Rob Stokes said the stadium fa\u00e7ade was also complete and that work would continue on the stadium fit out and stadium surrounds.
\u00a0
\u201cThis stadium will not only provide a stunning arena for sports and entertainment, but also create a fantastic new precinct nestled between some of Sydney\u2019s finest public spaces,\u201d Mr Stokes said.
\u00a0
\u201cUnlike the old gated SFS, the new design of the stadium fosters an open atmosphere and welcoming public open space that is no longer limited to just game day activity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
