Game Day at Canberra’s GIO Stadium is promised to become even better with reduced food prices and a new all-weather entertainment hub called ‘The Huddle’.
Announcing the new hub, the Minister for Sport and Recreation, Yvette Berry said Treasury’s Venues Canberra had been working with the ACT Brumbies and Canberra Raiders to improve the game day experience and attract more attendents to matches.
Ms Berry said reducing costs for things such as food would help make it easier for families to support their favourite teams.
“We want to make sure it’s still affordable and fun for families to get along to the footy this year,” Ms Berry said.
“The price of popular items such as pies, sausage rolls and hot chips will be reduced to under $5 at GIO Stadium’s public food outlets,” she said.
“The new addition of The Huddle will bring the Western Forecourt to life with music and local entertainment, a screen to watch the game and opportunities to engage with the Brumbies and the Raiders clubs on game days.”
Ms Berry said The Huddle would offer unique food sourced from local produce and a choice of craft or mainstream beer along with other beverages.
She said it would operate on all game days, pre- and post-match.
