Stadium(s)
The match takes place at the impressive and easily recognisable Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, which is perhaps better known by its commercial name of AAMI Park, which is a large rectangular stadium located in the sporting hub of Victoria.
The roof of the stadium, which is made up of numerous bulbus shapes that open up into a sweeping look inside the ground, really give the stadium a unique look and feel, as do the bright green seats.
The stadium features two different elements, with two large two-tier stands that run down the length of either side of the pitch and that also have a small band of corporate facilites, including boxes and it is in the ground ‘main stand’ that features all of the media facilites at the ground.
Both ends of the stadium are large single tier, general access all-seater stands that wrap around in the corners to match up with the larger side stands.
All in all that allows for just under 30,000 fans to be at the ground in person and for a massive match such as this one, the stands will be packed out, and the atmosphere will be red hot.
Location
The match will take place in the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct, which as you would likely expect is in the city of Melbourne in the state of Victoria.
The district is home to not only the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium where this match will take place, but it is also home to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and the Australian Open tennis complex.
The precinct is split across different suburbs of Melbourne, Jolimont and close to East Melbourne and Richmond.
That puts it around 3 kilometres to the east of the Melbourne central business district and with great public transportation links making it easy for fans to get to the ground in big numbers, as they will for this blockbuster occasion.
