The stadium’s 2,500-space car park now includes EV charging stations alongside bike storage facilities to promote sustainable commuting options. Water usage and energy conservation innovations are also helping reduce the venue’s environmental footprint. “Stadiums have a responsibility to lead by example,” Fitzgerald adds.“It’s about doing what’s right for the future while ensuring that we remain a place people want to visit and support.” MELBOURNE’S GATHERING PLACE Looking ahead, Marvel Stadium aspires to be much more than a venue—it envisions itself as a gathering place where people come together to create unforgettable memories. “Our goal is to be a space where people connect, celebrate, and enjoy the best Melbourne offers,” Fitzgerald says. The vision includes enhancing the fan experience on event days and encouraging visitors to arrive early and stay late. “It’s about creating a one-stop destination where visitors can dine, socialize, and immerse themselves in the atmosphere,” Fitzgerald explains. As Fitzgerald sums it up, “Marvel Stadium isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. And we’re just getting started.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Diageo www.websitename.com.au 48 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 06, ISSUE 12
