GETTING TO THE GROUND
From Parramatta Road, take the Ross Street gates entrance into the University, you will see the ground directly in front of you.
SPECTATORS ENTRY
The spectator’s entrance has changed for 2018, it is now located at the Southern end of the Grandstand (closest to No.1 Oval/Charles Perkins Centre), whilst players and officials will use the Northern entrance (closest to Parramatta Road). The reasoning is the Southern entrance features the elevator, has more room for ticketing infrastructure and more accessibility to the other side of the field for young families.
Members will be able to fast track the queues and head straight in by showing your membership card to the secruity guard!

There is no free parking is available within the University grounds and you are likely to be booked for parking without a permit.
