New images showcasing the premium function and hospitality spaces at Hobart’s proposed Macquarie Point stadium have been released.
The renders, released by the Macquarie Point Development Corporation, reveals extensive premium facilities designed to rival the nation’s leading stadiums.
For high-tier ticket holders, the experience begins at a dedicated member and corporate entry via Gate 2 at Evans Street, featuring a triple-height lobby with multiple access options to all levels of the premium stand.
“Silver ticket holders will have access to a range of food and beverage offerings on the Level 1 Western Concourse, where escalators continue up to a dedicated members’ club and lounge zone on Level 2,” the MPDC said.
Gold-level patrons will enjoy “tailored hospitality areas, featuring five bars and a range of food and beverage options.”
The stadium’s centrepiece is a versatile premium function space with expansive views of both the playing field and Kunanyi/Mt Wellington.
The adaptable area can accommodate various configurations, including a 1,500-person seated dining experience, 1,700 seats for lecture-style events, or more than 2,000 guests for cocktail functions.
“Flexibility is further enhanced by the inclusion of operable walls. This allows three individual functions to be held within the space at the same time,” MPDC explained.
Comprehensive kitchen facilities, bars, amenities and audio-visual equipment compliment the space.
“The Macquarie Point Stadium will deliver an experience for premium-level guests equivalent to the best stadiums in the country,” MPDC said.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff said the images show how the stadium is “about so much more than sport”.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity,” he said
“Mac Point will offer a new range of conferencing facilities, including a 1,500-seat function room with views to the city and the field of play, creating a versatile space for community celebrations, festivals, business and social events.”
“It is about our tourism, events and hospitality industries.”
Both the Liberals and Labor support the stadium, with an order to see the project approved set to be put through state parliament on November 4.
