While upgrades at other Sydney suburban grounds were scrapped, plans for a new Panthers stadium are forging ahead
Ayres is a strong advocate for Penrith and close to the board of Penrith Panthers.
The stadium has already had two upgrades: in 1987, when new stands were constructed, and again in 2006, when its corporate facilities were extended. “From a spectator’s view, it is an excellent ground to watch rugby league, rugby union or soccer – all of which are played there – because you are never too far away. There are excellent corporate and media facilities. Lighting is up to broadcast standard,” the Austadium site says.
