Why hosting the first test in Perth will shake up the Ashes formula
Looming over the Swan River the Perth Stadium sits silent and imposing. A massive hulk of brushed metal, intricate curves and sloping framework, Western Australia 's sporting centrepiece truly is a marvel to behold. Officially opened in 2018 after board meetings, design meetings, negotiations and compromises, the Perth Stadium, known as the Optus Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is situated on rejuvenated swamp land and is the main draw of a specifically built area of the city to host, watch, and enjoy a multitude of events from rugby, AFL, and football matches to musical concerts and even the WWE. This winter the multi-purpose stadium will also host its first Ashes test match, taking over from the famous and traditional WACA ground, with fans from both England and Australia flocking to Perth in November to experience the match first hand. Perth Stadium CEO, Mike McKenna, explained how and why the venue was built as an answer to the city's growing desire for improvement and innovation. 'Sometime around 2013 the process started and the debate within WA was about whether we needed a new stadium,' McKenna told The Independent. 'At the same time there were questions about the WACA redevelopment. The WACA had gone down the path of developing the stadium by selling parts of the land to use for commercial and residential development. That was really opposed by Cricket Australia who didn't think that was great for the Western Australia Cricket Association. 'The debate went on; do we need two new venues? One new venue? They decided they wanted one stadium to be a multi-purpose investment.' The decision to make the stadium a multi-purpose venue is clearly evident. Spreading out from the concourse there are tennis courts, a racetrack, cricket nets, plenty of parking and a purpose-built train station to improve public transport usage for matchday fans. 'The public transport service brings people here. Not only are there great bus and train access but they've built a network of routes that serve the venue on gameday,' McKenna clarified. 'We probably get about 77-78% of people who arrive come by public transport in a city that loves cars. It's accessible, it's easy to walk, train or bus. 'When you walk from the bus, train or the city you get caught up in the atmosphere. There's a lot of people coming on foot and you get that buzz that comes with arriving at a great venue. 'If you're wearing Barmy Army gear, you'll get the same reception as someone wearing Australia gear because people want you here and having a good time. There'll be the typical ribbing from both sides but there's not that animosity you can get in other places with cultures clashing together.' Typically, an Ashes series down under begins in Brisbane, at the Gabba in recent times, but this year's tour will begin in Perth. As the Perth Stadium has never held an Ashes test – they missed out in 2021/22 due to Covid restrictions – there is an air of the unknown about the beginning of this series. The Gabba is well known for its hostility, especially for England's players, and a cauldron-like atmosphere from hyped up fans but will that be replicated in a larger stadium built to hold 61,000 people? McKenna believes so. 'The atmosphere of the first ball of the first test of a series is quite incredible,' he revealed with fan-like joy. 'Something always happens. Expect the unexpected for that first ball. Whatever it is, that moment everybody is there together, and you get that roar that is quite different from anything else. 'This is the most passionate group of sports fans in the country. They'll take it out on the English team on the field and that first ball will be a hell of a lot louder than the Gabba. 'If Australia are bowling first, it'll be even more raucous. You wouldn't want to lose the toss here and bat if you're an English team on the first day. This place retains noise well, it's designed and engineered to keep the sound in so if you have 55,000 people here for a first ball and someone running in about to deliver it, it'll be big. 'The Gabba is an old-fashioned design and as you get further away in your seat you're further away from the ground. Here the stands have been built to face inwards, and you feel that in the ground.' And as for the game itself, well, the Perth Stadium was specially designed to accommodate drop-in pitches which have been specially tested and grown to replicate the fast and bouncy conditions that the WACA is known for. McKenna explained: 'Part of the objective when the stadium was built was to replicate the old WACA wickets. The myth of it is that it's fast, bouncy and lots of carry. That's what's been replicated and it's probably better than the WACA wickets were towards the end of their time. 'It doesn't crack up like the WACA wicket used to do, we used to have big, wide cracks running down the wicket, but this one doesn't crack that much. When it does start to crack there's a lot more variable bounce. It'll play fast but like the WACA if you can last and get yourself in you can get runs.'

Optus Stadium's huge test AFL after State of Origin slugfest
Perth's $1.6 billion Optus Stadium is under intense pressure as it backs up for an AFL game on Thursday night less than 24 hours after a brutal State of Origin contest on the ground. The surface at the stadium, which was officially opened in 2018, has come in for criticism in recent years, leading to extensive renovations at the start of 2025. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. Back in 2023, footage emerged of stadium staff relaying grass on sections around the ground, while the following year the slippery surface was criticised by former West Coast coach Adam Simpson and ex-Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt following a Fremantle clash with the Suns. It is facing its sternest test since then after hosting three AFL games over the last six days, along with Wednesday's typically physical Origin clash held in driving rain. Watch the ground transformation in the video player above The Dockers beat North Melbourne at the venue on June 14, a day before the Blues took care of West Coast, while Fremantle is hosting Essendon on Thursday night. Thirty ground staff worked on the pitch since the rugby league game finished and Optus Stadium chief executive Mike McKenna was extremely confident it would 'look like it's a new ground' by the time the AFL fixture had its opening bounce. 'When the (State of Origin) game finishes tonight, there'll be obvious signs that it's been played on, but by the time we get to tomorrow evening, it'll look like it's a new ground,' McKenna told 'I think we'll come out of this game into tomorrow and it won't be very noticeable, so I think we'll see a really strong result and we're really confident that it will play really well right through the season.' State of Origin matches in the NRL are renowned as among the most bruising in Australian sport, with the players often causing significant damage to playing surfaces. Regular NRL grounds including Sydney's Accor Stadium and Allianz Stadium often come in for criticism for its turf quality. The surface was a hot topic prior to the Dockers' home game as they chased a fifth straight win. 'How nervous are the AFL going to be tonight given just how much wear and tear it's had lately?' Fox Footy's Jon Ralph was asked pre-match. 'No doubt. The Optus Stadium boss, Mike McKenna, says the ground will look brand spanking new, but Fremantle certainly has concerns,' Ralph reported. 'So the NRL State of Origin was played last night in drenching rain. 'The Dockers and Essendon get the official report from the AFL a couple of hours beforehand, but as (Fremantle) footy boss Joe Brierty says, it's clearly too late to make any changes at that stage. 'The third AFL game in six days, the Optus Stadium turf did undergo a renovation over summer, the drainage is so much better. 'Essendon will liaise with their players about the long stops in boots. The players don't love wearing them, they do pull up really sore. 'The 30 workers who worked around the clock to try to get this in good nick, and it certainly looks OK, it just depends how it plays.' Sarah Jones added: 'We'll have a close eye on that. It might be a headline waiting to happen.' Reporting from ground level, Kath Loughnan said the ground looked 'pretty good' and the ground staff had done a 'pretty good job' before the game commenced. It also helped that solid rain in Perth this week had eased by Thursday night, but fans watching on weren't impressed by what they were seeing. An X account called Gazzalinga tweeted: 'I'm sorry, the Optus Stadium looks horrible right now. 'I know they said people have worked tirelessly to get it ready for the game but who in their right mind would actively play on that ground in current condition? Surely someone is going to be pulling up.' Daniel Hikisz quipped: 'Seen enough, the surface isn't up to AFL standard. Call off the game now, we take the 4 points and move on.' With the Perth Bears set to join the NRL competition in 2027, Scott King wrote: 'When North Sydney Bears start playing in Perth, they CANNOT play at Optus Stadium. The centre of the ground looks terrible. Go find a rugby ground.' Despite obvious signs around the ground the NRL match had been played the night before the turf was holding up reasonably well as the Dockers took a 16-point lead into halftime.

Socceroos ticket sales strong ahead of Japan clash
Optus Stadium is on track to be more than two-thirds full for the Socceroos' vital, blockbuster World Cup qualifiying clash against Japan. However, the 60,000-seat stadium's seldom-used drop-in seats for rectangular sports will not be employed for the match, which would see the Socceroos clinch a sixth-consecutive FIFA World Cup with a win. With less than three weeks to go before the match, preparations are in full swing for the Australian side, with a 10-day training camp set to kick off early next week ahead of their final two qualifying matches. Ahead of the June 5 game, The West Australian understands ticket sales are performing strongly, with expectations the crowd will exceed 40,000. Optus Stadium chief executive Mike McKenna confirmed the Socceroos game would not use the drop-in seats, and the decision was a Football Australia one rather than down to VenuesLive, who operate the stadium. 'The Optus Stadium drop-in seats were used for the NRL Double Header in 2018, as a trial and for the Bledisloe Cup match on 10 August 2019,' he said. 'The decision to use the drop in seats is at the discretion of the hirer.' A general view as the teams line up during the 2019 Rugby Championship Test Match between the Australian Wallabies and the New Zealand All Blacks. Credit: Will Russell / Getty Images The Burswood stadium has hosted a slew of rectangular sports games over the past few years, including high-profile European football sides' friendlies, a sold-out Matildas game, rugby league games and rugby union Test matches. Two weeks after the Socceroos match, it will host game two of this year's State of Origin and the British and Irish Lions' meeting with Western Force in the same week. When the stadium was built, its ability to accomodate rectangular sports with up to 5000 drop-in seats on all four sides of the pitch was touted — but the extra seats have not been used for six years. The 2019 Bledislode Cup game was Optus Stadium's highest-attended game ever, drawing in 61,241 fans to watch the Wallabies beat New Zealand 47-26. The additional, drop-in seats bring the front row of seats closer to the action, but do not make the ground appear rectangular. Optus Stadium's rectangular sports fact sheet boast the drop-in seats offer unobstructed, quality views of the field of play, regardless of seating configuration or the sporting event and a 12-hour turnaround to install and/or remove the seats.
