Exclusive First Look at New Parramatta Stadium Screen

Amazing

Had to re-edit the pictures. For some reason the first lot I put it stopped working :/ Anyway, should be good now.

Looks good. I'll head down and get a cheeky one from inside the RBB bay

"Our Agent, abbadabba, spoke with the construction workers of the new screen and was told it should be up and running by the the first match of the season vs Central Coast. I would also like to thank Taurus for his role in gathering the information."

Blushes, I only played a bit part, it was nothing really.

That's **** sick

May try grab a few pics at sunset tomorrow night just to give the best visionary actualisation possible.

**** yes!

Thats awesome

I'm very impressed. Well positioned and large. I'm so glad the screen seems to be edge to edge, I was afraid it would be bordered by advertising or otherwise wasted space.

Only possible concern is the elevation from pitch level, it looks as though it could be quite distracting or in a bad position for the keeper facing it. The last picture shows what I'm referring to, where the bottom of the screen isn't much higher than the top of where the goals would be.

There's one more pic I sent Mack which is from the RBB bay but zoomed in. I think it will allay your fears as from that pic it looks like the top of the goals will only look as high as the bay then there are the ad boards then some clear space before the black screen starts. Mack if you got it and can load i would be much obliged.

maybe we can use this to our advantage. when the ball goes in the air to the opposing keeper, have a video of lots of balls going across the screen.

You leaning to the right of centre abba, or is it my eyes.

this is great news, just wondering who funded this? and does this permenantly replace the former scoreboard which i think was down the southern end

It may be of use to the Eels fans too. I'm stoked our club is still listening. Thanks, Lyall - or whomever!

Wait someone update me , what's been done to the field , looks the same to me

field is the same, that big a$$ screen is what's new and was basically constructed for the RBB

I can just see the 'Popa Smurf' tifo image on that.

Freakin awesome!

Made me lol so bad ha

Wow epic stuff. Eels fans have been raging for a tv for years and we get it in our first season lol.

Maybe the fact that we have committed to have all 13 home games there made them build this new screen.

It's amazing that by sticking to his guns and having all games at Parra, Gorman has caused the stadium to be improved.

Hopefully, if we pack out Parra every week, an expansion to 30,000 will be on the cards.

With the 2015 Asian Cup on zee horizon, anything appears possibly.

But we also have to justify the expansion. Having a 10k average wont justify it. Having quite a few sellouts a season and other games nearing a sellout will justify the expansion

We play Newcastle at campbeltown dont we? If not newcastle I knwo at least one game is sheduled for C-Town

Newcastle game is not a home game. It's at C-town but it is a community round game

I cant wait for that game. Does our membership cover that match? or do we have to pay?

we have to pay

Yes, this angle shows it much better, there's quite a lot of clearance. Excellent reconnaissance work!

Absolutely can't wait to see this in action...

Drove passed Wanderland today and noticed the electronic sign was advertising our season opener. (standard procedure i know but i got excited)

Yeah that's been there for a couple of weeks. I was driving with charonis in the passenger seat and he took a pic and tweeted it haha
