The transformation of Hunter Stadium (now known as McDonald Jones Stadium) has cemented it as the iconic venue for sports and entertainment in Newcastle.

The rectangular, multi-purpose stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000 and serves as the home ground for the Newcastle Knights rugby league team and the Newcastle Jets Football Club.

BG&E have been involved in a number of work packages for the improvement of the stadium.

Scope includes

• Provision of ablution amenities on the north and south terraces.
• Structural inspection and load-verification of new LED screens on the bleacher cantilevers.
• Inspection, monitoring, structural modelling and rectification of existing issues around building movement joints.
