Building on the existing functional planning of the stadium to create an enticing and rich interior experience, layers of new program have been carefully inserted across multiple levels and are complemented by upgrades to key existing infrastructure and amenities. Functions, events and conferences are now facilitated in vastly improved and new interior spaces and ample meeting rooms.

To celebrate Marvel Stadium’s unique location, each level is linked by a large, flexible daylit atrium that offers views of the stadium against the backdrop of Melbourne’s cityscape. As a dynamic space that offers connection to the outdoors while providing protection against the elements, the atrium is set to become a catalyst for Marvel Stadium’s reinvention as a civic-focussed sports and entertainment venue.

The Town Square provides an active and public entry space that breaks down the existing solid southern edge of Marvel Stadium to directly connect the field of play with the broader stadium precinct. This new edge is carefully refurbished and includes outdoor recreation spaces that may be used year-round to not only enhance the stadium’s game-day functionality but also its civic offering in non-game mode,

Overlooking Wurundjeri Way, an arterial road that separates the Docklands precinct from the western edge of the CBD, the City Edge celebrates the stadium as a cultural destination, creating a more dynamic, and also functional, entry experience.
