When crowds return to big sport events, Campbelltown Sports Stadium will have something extra special for fans: a bigger and better TV screen than ever before.
The 84m2 screen has been permanently affixed to the northern end of the stadium and Campbelltown Council says it will provide a bigger and better quality image than previous screens which were hired for events at the stadium.
“This new screen is reflective of our stadium’s place as an iconic venue in the heart of our city,” says a proud Mayor George Brticevic.
“The stadium is hosting a series of NRL games over the coming months and will soon welcome Macarthur FC as a permanent home team in the A-League,” Cr Brticevic said.
“The increased usage of the stadium as an elite sporting venue is reflective of Campbelltown’s status as a proud sporting city and I’m proud that we’re able to showcase our city through our world class stadium and playing surface,” he said.
The screen was previously used at Canberra Stadium.
Campbelltown Stadium is one of three venues being used by the NRL in NSW for the resumption of the rugby league season and will host the Penrith Panthers and New Zealand Warriors tonight and another match on Sunday which will see Canberra Raiders up against the Newcastle Knights at 4pm.
However games are played behind closed gates and it is not clear when fans will be allowed back in to watch game.
But there’s every chance by the time the Macarthur FC Bulls run on to Campbelltown Stadium for their first A-League game sometime in October there will be fans to greet them.
And a big TV screen for a closer look at the action.
