BREAKING NEWS: Penrith Panthers Unveil $309 Million Memorial Stadium Modernization Plan
Penrith, NSW – April 17, 2025
The Penrith Panthers have officially announced a comprehensive $309 million redevelopment plan for their home ground, Penrith Stadium. This ambitious project aims to transform the stadium into a state-of-the-art venue for sports, entertainment, and community events, with construction set to commence on December 30, 2025.
A Visionary Transformation
The modernization plan includes the construction of a new western grandstand and the refurbishment of the eastern grandstand, increasing the stadium’s capacity to 25,000 seats. The design focuses on enhancing the game-day experience with improved sightlines, steeper seating arrangements, and upgraded amenities. The redevelopment will also introduce multipurpose community spaces, including courts, child-friendly areas, and landscaped open spaces, ensuring year-round usability beyond sporting events.
Economic and Community Impact
Led by the John Holland Group, the project is expected to generate approximately 500 jobs during the construction phase and an additional 650 jobs upon completion. The upgraded stadium is anticipated to host up to 10 concerts annually, alongside various private events, contributing significantly to the local economy and cultural landscape.
Government and Club Statements
NSW Premier Chris Minns expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “We are thrilled to see work begin on the redevelopment of Penrith Stadium as we bring to life our vision for a modern stadium and entertainment precinct that will serve as a major Western Sydney attraction for years to come.”
Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney Prue Car added, “This project will create hundreds of jobs during construction and provide ongoing job opportunities right here in the heart of Penrith for our local community, boosting local businesses on event days.”
Timeline and Future Outlook
The redevelopment is scheduled for completion in 2027. During the construction period, the Penrith Panthers will temporarily relocate their home games to CommBank Stadium in Parramatta. The upgraded Penrith Stadium is poised to become a premier destination for sports and entertainment in Western Sydney, reflecting the club’s commitment to its fans and the broader community.
