Sydney Showground Main Arena Upgrade

 

The NSW Government and the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW have announced an upgrade of Sydney Showground's Main Arena, due to be completed in 2012.
 
Sydney Showground is operated by the RAS, under lease from the NSW Government.
 
The RAS welcomes the upgrade as it will provide wide ranging benefits to the people of NSW.  The investment will help the Sydney Showground attract and retain major sporting and leisure events into the future — allowing the RAS to generate greater returns to invest back into community and regional programs around NSW.
 
The upgrade will see seating capacity increase from 13,000 to 25,000, and upgraded corporate hospitality, bars and function space, as well as new media facilities and improved audio and sound systems. The Main Arena surface will also be reconfigured.
 
Construction will begin later this year.
