Outrage over $309million changes to Panthers' iconic Australian sports ground: 'How did they make it worse?'

Footy fans have savaged Penrith Stadium’s $309million redevelopment after images revealed the new seating replacing the famous paw-print design at the Panthers’ home ground. But a construction update shared by Austadiums has sparked a barrage of criticism, with fans questioning the price tag, roof coverage and whether the new-look ground has lost its character. ‘Seating installation has begun at the new Penrith Stadium, with the grandstands’ seating design revealed as the $309million redevelopment progresses towards a 2027 reopening,’ Austadiums posted.
