Please note: AFL fans are urged to leave the car at home as heavy traffic and long delays are expected, particularly after the match while up to 15,000 music fans leave neighbouring Centennial Park at the same time. Other events will also be held in the Entertainment Quarter during the day making parking very limited and in high demand.
