Canberra Stadium plans to upgrade lights for potential light shows, enhancing fan entertainment during sports events.
Move over Perth and Parramatta, Canberra Stadium could potentially put on light shows during sports matches with a nifty new upgrade. But fans will have to wait to see it in action.
As support grows for a new lakeside stadium, the existing top sports venue in Canberra at Bruce will soon complete much-needed improvements to lights and fix leaks.
The stadium's light towers have fallen behind modern television broadcasting standards in recent years and don't have light show capabilities.
The latter is a point that has frustrated the Brumbies, Raiders and one-off tenants like the Matildas - due in town on November 28 for a friendly against Colombia - because it limits the ability to entertain patrons beyond the sports action.
