Our Home Ground’s Renovation
The NSW Government approved the fast-tracking of the major refurbishment of the ground where the VB Blues call home, ANZ Stadium. Premier Mike Baird expressed his desire of turning our home into a world-class rectangular football stadium throughout the week through his Facebook page. It comes at an ideal time for the NSWRL, with the Centre of Excellence in the process of being built just next to ANZ Stadium.
