The broad seating bowl gives you a clear view of the action from many sections, while food and bars are available inside and around the venue. Before an event, visit the forecourt to see the Olympic Cauldron and commemorative installations tied to the Games.
Built for the Sydney Olympics
Accor Stadium opened in 1999 as Stadium Australia, ahead of the 2000 Summer Olympics. It was the main venue for the Games, and its Olympic history remains visible on the forecourt, where the Olympic Cauldron and commemorative installations honour the event and Australia’s sporting legacy.
The stadium has also been known as ANZ Stadium. Today it hosts major sports fixtures and concerts, with the event shaping what you will see and how the venue is set up.
What to expect inside
The venue’s large seating bowl is designed for events with big crowds. Visitors have reported clear sightlines from a range of seats, though concert views can depend on your section and stage setup. If a clear view is a priority, check the seating plan before booking; general admission suits those who would rather be close to the stage.
Food and drink options are available inside, and there are bars and restaurants around the stadium. Free water stations are available inside, but outside food is not permitted. The stadium has accessible entrances, seating, restrooms and parking.
Getting ready for an event
Accor Stadium is at Edwin Flack Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park. Give yourself time to find your entrance and seat in this large venue, using the signs around the stadium. Parking is available on site; pre-booking at P1 is advised in the supplied guidance for major events.
Entry checks can move quickly, but event crowds can make the trip to and from the stadium busy. Plan your transport around the event and allow time to leave with the crowd. Forecourt installations are a useful stop before going inside if you want to see the site’s Olympic connections.
