McDonald Jones Stadium is a venue in Newcastle, NSW
Sunnyside Tavern promotes itself as having "good old fashioned pub grub”, and it's hard to argue with that! With a menu that changes with the seasons, there is food to cater for all. Located only a short walk from McDonald Jones Stadium, you can't really go wrong here as a start/finish venue.
With the stadium rarely reaching capacity, you can pretty much choose your own seats. One thing to bear in mind though, during in afternoon games, the sun shines directly across the field on the Eastern Stand so if you don't want sun in your eyes, maybe stick with the western side.
If you're willing to walk a little further, there's street parking in surrounding streets. You'll need to check local parking restrictions though.
Couple of different options here. If you're travelling by train from Sydney, the nearest railway station is Broadmeadows Station which is about 1.5kms away.There are a number of local buses with services to the stadium too, the nearest bus stop is at Young and Turton Road in New Lambton. Check the local services though from wherever you're travelling from.A taxi stand is located at Young Road, Broadmeadow. Taxis can be accessed after the event by following the signs to Young Road.
