Nicknamed “The Stadium in the Park,” Optus Stadium is nestled among eucalyptus trees and riverbanks—and its design draws directly from its surroundings. Its sweeping glass roof curves like a wave, made of materials that maximize daylight while minimizing heat. The transparent edge of the canopy allows Perth’s blue skies and golden sunsets to become part of the event experience. Notably, the glass roof was also designed with acoustics in mind—trapping sound and energy inside the bowl, creating one of the loudest and most immersive stadium atmospheres in the Southern Hemisphere.
