ENGIE Stadium

ENGIE Stadium is part of the Sydney Showground precinct at Sydney Olympic Park, hosting AFL, cricket, concerts, festivals, corporate hospitality and major event experiences across the year. It is especially well known as the home ground of the GWS Giants and a key Sydney venue for sport and entertainment.

The stadium has a more compact feel than some of Sydney’s larger venues, which makes it a strong choice for guests who want to be close to the atmosphere on game day. It also sits within easy reach of Accor Stadium, Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Showground, Olympic Park Station and the wider dining and entertainment options around Sydney Olympic Park.

Game days, concerts and live events

ENGIE Stadium draws a mix of fans, families, corporate guests and event attendees, particularly during the AFL season, Big Bash fixtures and large events held across the Showground precinct. For guests planning an event stay, it is worth checking the venue entry details and arrival times before leaving, especially when other Olympic Park events are running on the same day.

The location also makes it easy to add more to the visit. Guests can arrive early for a meal in the precinct, walk through Cathy Freeman Park, or connect the event with other Sydney Olympic Park attractions.

Event access from Sydney’s north

Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park gives guests a straightforward stay for events at ENGIE Stadium. For evening events, guests can head to Sydney Olympic Park by taxi, Uber or public transport, then return to modern accommodation rooms in Macquarie Park after the match, concert or show. Bistro Sydney is available for breakfast the next morning, while Bistro Bar works well for a pre-event drink or a relaxed return after the stadium.
