Etihad Stadium
Situated in the Docklands precinct just west of Melbourne’s central business district, Etihad Stadium is well served by public transport. The ground is next to Southern Cross railway station – the main hub for country trains and part of the City Loop network. Two pedestrian walkways have been built across the rail yards, giving fans direct access.
The Docklands precinct is constantly undergoing significant development and access to the ground has been geared towards public transport and extensive car parking facilities under and around the stadium.
