Construction of the Sydney Football Stadium (SFS) is complete. Known as ‘Allianz Stadium’, the new venue will be operated by Venues NSW and will open in August 2022.
Where is the project up to?
John Holland has successfully delivered a modern and world-class venue ahead of schedule and on budget. The SFS redevelopment supported around 1100 jobs on site during peak construction. The project made it a priority to award contracts to local suppliers. Over $500 million worth of contracts were awarded to NSW-based businesses.
The final stages of construction consisted of the installation of the seats, laying of the turf, and finishing touches of the internal fit-out.
Some interesting facts about the construction of the Sydney Football Stadium:
42,500 seats installed (all undercover)
40,000 cubic metres of concrete poured (equivalent to 16 Olympic swimming pools)
90,000 square metres of concrete slab poured (the size of about 11 football fields)
Almost 1500 piles drilled into the ground to support the structure
Approximately 25km of electrical cable laid
10,500 square metres of ‘ready to play’ turf laid
4000 pieces of steel in the roof, lifted into place by six tower cranes and three crawler cranes
32,804 bolts used on the roof structure
325 precast concrete panels surround the stadium at the base, totalling 773.5m in length and 1560t in weight
980 curtain wall bronze-coloured panels that surround the external façade (if placed end to end, the panels would reach longer than 1.7km).
What is the new SFS delivering?
Investing in a new stadium at Moore Park will drive growth in the visitor economy and promote a strong cultural and sporting sector.
The new SFS has been designed with the fan experience at heart. It will offer more visitors and patrons an improved entertainment experience through enhanced design and improvements in accessibility, safety, fan and player experience and overall improved operations.
The new stadium will:
ensure NSW remains the number one choice for sporting and entertainment events
enhance the game day experience and atmosphere
have 42,500 seats, all undercover and closer to the action than ever before
be accessible to a diverse range of people with different ages, backgrounds, gender, and mobility
deliver an open and accessible public domain that reconnects the precinct with its surrounding local communities.
