    Perth local here. The MCG will always be the boss but we are very proud to have our own world class stadium now. Perth isn’t in the spotlight or gets much attention like more heavy duty cities, but we are mostly happy to be the hot younger sister people didn’t know about. We enjoy visiting Melbourne and the unique experience it offers very much but are happy to call Perth home. Thanks for a great vid!✊

      Just the stadium- Optus is 100% better than the MCG; its just new and more modern.. but! The MCG will always be the home of footy and Optus will never take that crown.

    I'm so glad you've officially visited Optus! One of my favourite things about the stadium is how the roof lights up. I read somewhere saying that Optus Stadium has the largest LED lighting system in the world (although that might have changed now). Hope you've enjoyed Perth! 😊

    The government doesn't always get things right, but Optus Stadium and surrounds were done really well and the city and wide river make a beautiful backdrop. It looks even nicer at night when the facade and bridge are lit up. I have only seen the MCG from the outside, but I'd say that the 2 would be very difficult to compare. It's nice to have history, but it's also nice to have modern facilities. They are both good in their own right. I guess eventually Optus will have more of its own history too . I'll add that the public transport to get there is also super easy and pedestrian flow is marshalled really well. I took my kids to Dockers v Brisbane Lions coming from a 25 min drive north of the city and we were there in no time, hardly had to wait. Straight in and straight out. We went to Ed Sheeran there too with 70000+ thousand people. Took the kids to the playground there for about 20 mins after the concert, and by the time we left we were about the only ones at the station.

I haven't been to the MCG since 1985, so my memory is a little faded, but I was on the ground at half time, Essendon v Hawthorn. I was an Essendon supporter back then until West Coast started the next year, so it was pretty exciting with over 100k people screaming and an Essendon win.

    The MCG is just more kinda traditional to us Vic's. I mean, it's been renoed and extended a few times instead of being pulled down and rebuilt. It's iconic to us and the rest of OZ. It doesn't have to look beautiful. It's the atmosphere we go for and it delivers on that. 😊

    A brilliant stadium in a beautiful sporting precinct in my favourite city of the many I have seen in my long time around, and I'm from Sydney region. It is really unreasonable to make comparisons given our architects have the advantage of over 170 years of learning when Optus is compared to the MCG.
    None the less, a wonderful area across the Swan where the WACA, Gloucester Park, Belmont and Ascot Racecourses and the beautiful Langley Park areas are within cooee. My favourite view is to catch the ferry from the Elizabeth Quay jetty over to South Parth and to look back into the city.

    I prefer AAMI Park or Docklands to the MCG. Is Optus really materially better than the Emirates or Spurs' new ground? The premium seats and outdoor drinking space were a highlight at Optus but you'd have to pick your days to be sat outside on the balcony in the middle of winter. Kind of surprised the stadium won that award, as there are stadia in the US that have crazy stuff going on like pool parties for premium guests, where you can view the game from.

Add in to that an extra 40,000 people screaming for their team and the 'G is definitely the best stadium in Australia.

    Perth Optus Stadium is defo the most beautiful in tge country. It is so user friendly and well designed. The atmosphere in game really is a cauldron and rivals the MCG albeit being smaller 65K compared to 90K + and although fairly new has already made iconic status. Every stadium has its history and strengths. It’s not got the history of the mcg of course but it is extraordinary.

      You wouldn't say the if you had attended VFL matches back in the 70's and before then. Teams all had suburban grounds with, in many cases, wooden grandstands. Collingwood's home ground, Victoria Park, sticks in my memory, only a few rows of seating and the rest was standing room, unless you wanted to pay extra for a seat in the stands. Toilets overflowing, to the point of having three inches of urine on the floor.
