AAMI Park parking?

There is parking across the road from the stadium at Hisense Arena, but it'll take you a little bit of time to get out of there afterwards. Best tip for free parking is to head just across the Yarra River to Alexandra Avenue where parking is free after 6pm Monday to Saturday, and free all day Sunday.

AAMI Park seating?

The design of this stadium means that every seat has a great view of the action. If you're sitting pitch side, you'll hear every word from the players on the field and is a great spot to get close to the action. The upper levels give a greater view of the whole pitch and equally as good.For Melbourne Victory games, if you want to soak up the atmosphere of the North Terrace active fan area without being right in the middle of it, Bay 91 on the upper level is a great spot. Adult tickets start around $25.00.

What to expect from the AAMI Park crowd?

The Soccer crowds get pretty wild. Security are cracking down on the cheer squads as there have been a few incidents over the past 2 years. Nothing that would stop you from going to a game, but if you want to be extra careful, I'd suggest to stay away from the seating directly behind the goals.

Safety at AAMI Park?

Some of the A-League crowds can get pretty boisterous, but nothing normally to be worried about. There is always a heavy security presence at the game. The surrounding area is really safe- it's in the heart of the Melbourne sporting precinct.

Best restaurants near AAMI Park?

FONDA! This is a Mexican place on Swan St (near the corner of Swan & Church Streets). I could eat here everyday. The Burritos here are the standouts- your hardest decision is whether you choose Chicken, Beef or Fish. The tacos are legit also. Fonda serve the type of Mexican food that doesn't make you feel like you have eaten a tonne of it.
