At this stage only Stage 1 (5000 seated). The grassed areas are spectator mounds that will eventually be removed to make way for extension of the big stand. I think that we will have to wait until next year and the next State election to get further funding and announcements for further expansion.

It's not long to go now and I'm looking forward to this game.
I wonder if there will be 2 games scheduled next year?

That's the plan, I'd expect one around April and the second in August.

And there appears to be some speculation that we might still play in Cairns next year as the away team

Thanks Woofer. It does look good but in all seriousness I would like to see a splash of red in the seating bays to make it red, white and blue. The colour scheme is a bit too Geelongy, we have to bulldog it up a shade!
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Don't have a problem playing in Cairns. The North of Australia is a fortress for us, we are almost unbeatable up there. It's the week after (today) that we have to fix.

Woofer, is there a corporate area or plans for one?

Not sure, that may well come with subsequent stages. The North Ballarat Sports Club has private areas that overlook the ground, but I imagine that future developments on the Eastern Side of the oval would likely incorporate private suites.
I did note yesterday that the Council have installed the original 400 seats that were removed from the old Northern Stand and recycled them around the boundary fence in the standing areas. That at least allows for elderly perhaps to access the General Entry as long as people are reasonably fair about it.

Looks in ripping nick and comes up a treat on one of those amazing sunny winter days in Ballarat. Fingers crossed the weather gods play nice in a few weeks.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

More tickets have gone on sale this morning, both reserved seats and GA
For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.
