As a Sydney FC fan, I'm deeply worried about changing the concert rules at Allianz Stadium from 6 to 20. Here's why:

We play many games at Allianz Stadium, around 14 each season. It's essential to respect our presence there, as we are a significant tenant.

We have a dedicated fan base, with an average attendance of 19,000 supporters. We want our fans to have a great experience, and changing concert rules may affect our games and the pitch quality.

Changing the concert cap could hurt our club financially and impact our ability to compete at a high level. This would not be good for our loyal fans.

The condition of the pitch is crucial for player safety and performance. After concerts, the field may not be in optimal condition.

We are actively involved in the community, promoting football and health awareness. A reduction in revenue due to changes in concert rules could hinder our community initiatives.

In conclusion, I urge the government to reconsider increasing the concert cap at Allianz Stadium. Sydney FC is a vital part of our city's identity and a source of pride for its supporters. Please maintain the current concert cap of 6 to preserve the stadium's sporting heritage.

I write to you as a dedicated Sydney FC fan, and I would like to voice my concerns regarding the proposed increase in concert caps at Allianz Stadium from 6 to 20. I respectfully urge the government to take into account the following points before making any decision on this matter:

First and foremost, it is crucial to recognize Sydney FC's status as a paying tenant of Allianz Stadium. The club holds a significant presence, playing a minimum of 14 home games at the stadium each season. The very reason for the construction of Allianz Stadium includes its role as a sporting venue, and it is unacceptable that the major tenant, and the sole summer tenant, would face eviction or fixture clashes due to concerts.

Sydney FC boasts an average attendance of 19,000 passionate fans, with countless others supporting the club from various regions. It is imperative that these loyal supporters are considered when contemplating changes to the concert cap. This involves careful deliberation on potential fixture rescheduling and the maintenance of pitch quality, both of which directly affect the overall fan experience.

Any alteration to the concert cap without due consideration for Sydney FC could put the club's financial stability and revenue streams at risk. Such consequences could have a ripple effect, potentially compromising the club's competitiveness and diminishing the enjoyment of us fans.

Furthermore, I express my sincere concerns about the condition of the pitch and the overall quality of the sporting product after concerts take place. Maintaining a top-notch pitch is not only vital for player safety and performance but also for the satisfaction of us devoted supporters.

Lastly, it is essential to acknowledge Sydney FC's active engagement in the community, where we play a pivotal role in promoting football and health awareness. Any reduction in the club's revenue due to changes in the concert cap could negatively impact our community outreach initiatives.

In conclusion, I respectfully implore the government to reconsider the proposal to increase the concert cap at Allianz Stadium. Sydney FC represents more than just a football club; it symbolizes the heart of our city and brings immense pride to its supporters. I urge you to safeguard the interests of our club and its dedicated fans by preserving the existing concert cap of 6 and upholding the cherished sporting legacy of Allianz Stadium.

As a SYDNEY FC fan and active member within this community, it is both upsetting and infuriating to find the proposed changes to the concert cap at the Moore Park precinct. Below are several reasons as to why this idea may seem good on paper but fails to see the negative practical impact it will bring on all stakeholders. This is highly unnecessary and at face value, this comes across as a blatant disregard for the heritage of sport and its prominence in the country. The justifications below are also cited, reflecting that this is not an emotional objection, but one backed by peer-reviewed studies.

Impact on Playing Surface Quality
One primary concern is the potential damage to the playing surface due to frequent conversion of the venue for concerts. Literature suggests that repeated installation and removal of concert equipment can lead to significant wear and tear on the field, affecting its quality and safety for athletes (Pfister & Schwarz, 2010). There are already examples of sporting venues being poor utilised by other sporting codes and having ramifications on player welfare. One particular example is having A-League Men's team, Sydney FC, playing at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Injuries sustained were a result of the pitch catered to a sport that is as clear as the name suggests; cricket. Displacing elite athletes from grounds that are best catered to their sporting codes will be detrimental to their success on the pitch and will hinder an already-struggling football league. This is just football. Note that the Sydney Roosters and NSW Waratahs also reside in the Sydney Football stadium and they too will have a chance of being negatively impacted

Risk of injuries
Poor field conditions resulting from frequent concert setups can increase the risk of injuries among athletes. Studies indicate a direct link between field quality and injury rates, with subpar surfaces leading to higher incidences of strains, sprains, and even career-threatening injuries (Soligard et al., 2016).

Long-term venue sustainability
Maintaining a multi-sport venue requires consistent investments in infrastructure. Frequent changes to accommodate concerts might require alterations to seating arrangements, lighting, and other facilities, diverting resources from essential maintenance and upgrades for sports-specific requirements (Dobson & Godfrey, 2011). This could hinder the venue's ability to meet evolving sporting standards and remain a competitive hosting choice for major events (Dobson & Godfrey, 2011).

Sabotaging home advantage
Sporting teams often capitalize on the psychological and physiological advantages gained from playing at home. Familiarity with the venue's surroundings, surface conditions, and fan support contribute to the home-field advantage (Lago-PeƱas & Lago-Ballesteros, 2010). Frequent concert setup changes can disrupt the consistency that athletes rely on and diminish the benefits of playing in a familiar environment.

Community and fan impact
Sports play a significant role in community identity and cohesion. Frequent concerts could reduce the number of sporting events, leading to decreased community engagement and a weakened emotional bond between fans and the venue (Wann & Dolan, 2010). Sporting events often provide opportunities for communities to come together and experience shared moments of celebration (Wann & Dolan, 2010). Whilst a concert may bring a short term boost to communities, it is often a sporting team that is associated with a venue when looking at long-term relationships. Hindering on a community's on-going attachment to a venue will not only negatively impact the venue itself, but also the associated teams. Constantly displacing a team for a short term benefit will come across as highly superficial and short-sighted.

Sydney FC is more than just a football club; it is a symbol of our city's spirit and a source of immense pride for its supporters. I beseech you to protect the interests of our club and its devoted fans by maintaining the existing concert cap of 6 and preserving the rich sporting heritage of Allianz Stadium.

As a Sydney FC fan, I'm deeply worried about changing the concert rules at Allianz Stadium from 6 to 20. Here's why:

We play many games at Allianz Stadium, around 14 each season. It's essential to respect our presence there, as we are a significant tenant.

We have a dedicated fan base, with an average attendance of 19,000 supporters. We want our fans to have a great experience, and changing concert rules may affect our games and the pitch quality.

Changing the concert cap could hurt our club financially and impact our ability to compete at a high level. This would not be good for our loyal fans.

The condition of the pitch is crucial for player safety and performance. After concerts, the field may not be in optimal condition.

We are actively involved in the community, promoting football and health awareness. A reduction in revenue due to changes in concert rules could hinder our community initiatives.

In conclusion, I urge the government to reconsider increasing the concert cap at Allianz Stadium. Sydney FC is a vital part of our city's identity and a source of pride for its supporters. Please maintain the current concert cap of 6 to preserve the stadium's sporting heritage.

As a fan of Sydney FC, I urge the NSW Govt to reconsider the proposed change in concert caps at Allianz Stadium from 6 to 20. Sydney FC, as a paying tenant of the stadium, is deeply concerned about the potential ramifications of such a decision, and I implore you to take the following points into serious consideration:

First and foremost, I ask that you respect Sydney FC's significant presence at Allianz Stadium. The club plays a minimum of 14 home games there each season, which serves as a testament to the integral role sport plays in the very reason for the stadium's construction. As the major tenant and the sole summer tenant of Allianz Stadium, any clash between concerts and our fixtures is simply unacceptable.

Sydney FC boasts an average attendance of 19,000 enthusiastic fans, with many thousands more supporting the club from other locations. It is crucial that these passionate supporters are given the consideration they deserve when decisions regarding concerts are made. This includes careful deliberation on the possibility of moving fixtures and preserving the quality of the pitch, both of which directly impact the overall enjoyment experience for our supporters.

Changing the concert cap without due consideration for Sydney FC could place our beloved club at risk. It could result in financial losses and undermine the revenue streams that support the team's continued success. This, in turn, could lead to a reduced enjoyment experience for our loyal supporters and potentially hinder our ability to compete at the highest level.

Furthermore, I must express my concerns regarding the state of the pitch and the overall quality of the product after concerts have taken place. Ensuring the pitch remains in optimal condition is crucial for the safety and performance of our players and, by extension, the satisfaction of our fans.

Lastly, it is essential to recognize that Sydney FC is actively engaged in the community, spreading vital messages about football and health awareness. Any reduction in the club's revenue brought about by changes to the concert cap could negatively impact our community service initiatives.

In conclusion, I respectfully urge the government to consider the profound implications of increasing the concert cap at Allianz Stadium. Sydney FC is more than just a football club; it is an integral part of our city's identity and a source of immense pride for its supporters. I implore you to protect the interests of our club and its dedicated fans by maintaining the current concert cap of 6 and ensuring that the sporting heritage of Allianz Stadium is preserved.
