And that's just for the sheds before and after the game.

The ageing state of Canberra Stadium has been thrust into the spotlight once again after the ACT Brumbies were forced to use wheelie bins to catch the leaking water in their change rooms during the storm about a week ago.

While ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr has said the stadium will be fine for at least another decade, the fact there's water leaking into the sheds backs up a use-by date of 2027.
