It is an excellent stadium to watch rugby at though

- Start date
Caught the train down from the beautiful Blue Mountains to watch the cricket last week. Joined the queue at Central for the tram to Moore Park, second stop, station closish to the SCG, piece of piss.
The light rail has certainly reduced the ability for people to complain about getting there!

Problem is there's no stadium at Moore Park yet. And I don't count the SCG because that is hopeless for spectators

When the games return to SFS ill be pleased and will attend again.
Parramatta is 1 hour away on the train for me so thats a massive disincentive straight away, secondly yes it has pubs and restaurants, but places like the Parramatta Leagues club aren't exactly cultural icons i enjoy spending my time at, if i go somewhere bit better like the Royal Oak i still have a 1 hour train trip home at the end of the night, or a $80 Uber fair.
Thirdly i'm not a Tahs fan but i do enjoy watching live rugby, but a night out going to watch the Tahs in Parra just doesn't stack up for me.

Yep, on the quality of stadium alone I'd travel to watch a Super Rugby game at Parra before Homebush

Perhaps you should have just made the point that it's too far for you to travel. Fair enough if you just like to go to games you can walk home from with a few pub stop-ins on the way. Would have been more accurate than having a little dig at the Parramatta location for it's lack of venue's that meet your personal preferences.......

Jimmyjam see quote above... i did say travel was an excuse enough well before the lack of quality pubs and restaurants was even mentioned, i don't know why you're getting your knickers in a knot over this. If Parramatta had great pubs and restaurants then maybe i would travel there for the rugby and a night out, but i don't think it does so i won't..

Fair enough, but I'd suggest a visit there first to see for yourself, you might be surprised. All you can eat Brazilian steakhouse in Phillip St followed by a stroll to the game with post match review beers at the Royal Oak. You might even come back again..........

FWIW it is a 30 min train ride from Central to Parramatta, about a 10 min walk once there or jump on a bus (similar to Roma St to Lang Park). Don't think the light rail is running yet. As others have said the Church St quarter has good restaurants.
I understand reluctance but all in all I think there are decent facilities for a rugby match in Parra.

This pic makes it look exactly the same as before. What an utter farce.
