Vodaphone Arena???

[paul c]

Guys,

The Vodaphone Arena, I've never been there before.
Where abouts in Melbourne is it?
I'm presuming somewhere in the city.

Paul,

Vodaphone Arena is on Swan Street and is next to Rod Laver Arena (tennis centre) or across the road from Olympic Park & the Glass House Stadium.

Paul,

Drive down hoddle street past collingwood and head towards st kilda. Turn right just after Richmond raiway station. And its only 100meters down the road. There is heaps of car parking space.

Thanks Ax and Janer,

That's a great help.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get there now without even having to pull the street directory out.



Thanks guys.

Hey Paul its a huge complex, pretty much impossble to miss. You will find it easy if you can find your way to some of the smaller venues!

Paul, just look for the MCG lights. It pretty close to the MCG.
