Gold Coast SUNS CEO Mark Evans says the anticipation around the city is at fever pitch and thanked the Gold Coast City Council and HOTA for their support.

“You can feel the excitement on the Gold Coast. There have been so many people ask me this week, where can we watch the game?” Evans said.

“I’m delighted that Mayor Tom Tate yesterday announced that the game will be here on the big screen on the HOTA Outdoor Stage Lawn. There’ll be live music, player appearances, food trucks and plenty to be able to really soak up the excitement of our first final in Perth.

“If you’re here on the Gold Coast, this is the place to be. Fremantle supporters, we don't want you anywhere near it, but the rest of Gold Coast, please come along.”

Evans also confirmed supporters in attendance will have the opportunity to get their hands on exclusive SUNS Finals giveaways.

“The first 100 people at the event from 5pm will receive a free All Gas, No Brakes SUNS finals tee and one lucky person will go into the draw to win two tickets to the AFL Grand Final.”

“I am absolutely thrilled that here at Home of the Arts, HOTA, we get to do what we do best, which is welcome the community, friends, families, arts lovers and sports lovers to our beautiful precinct this weekend to watch the SUNS game,” Alfonzetti said.

“I encourage everyone to come down here. Doors open at 5pm, we've got food, we've got games, we've got fun for everyone, plus the game on the big screen.”
