Fans vote Optus Stadium Australia’s best

Optus Stadium has been crowned Australia’s best stadium in the 2019 Stadium Awards, winning the public vote on the Austadiums website, ahead of Adelaide Oval and the MCG.

The 60,000-capacity Perth stadium also claimed the Best AFL Stadium and Best Major Stadium awards, as the only multi-category winner this year.

In the inaugural awards in 2018, Optus Stadium came a close-second to the MCG but finished 10% ahead of Australia’s largest stadium this year and 5% ahead of the Adelaide Oval, as the votes flew in during December on the Austadiums website and app.
