Optus Stadium plays host to Friday Night footy in Round 15 as the West Coast Eagles take on Essendon. It's the first time that Essendon will play at Optus Stadium since their memorable Dreamtime clash with Richmond in Round 12, 2021. Optus Stadium, based in Burswood just 3 kilometres from Perth city, is a multi-purpose world-class venue with a "fans first" commitment. This has resulted in an innovative design, ensuring an exceptional event atmosphere and home ground advantage that can only be experienced by being there. The stadium roof will cover 85 per cent of seats, the most coverage of any open-air stadium in Australia and also includes the widest range of seating and hospitality options of any stadium in Australia. Catch the train to the new six-platform Optus Stadium Station or walk there via the Swan River Pedestrian Bridge. The Perth Stadium Bus Station in the Stadium Park and Bus Stands in East Perth also provide easy access to city car parks and areas not currently serviced by rail. Tickets will be available via Ticketmaster. On sale information coming soon.
