Visy Stadium upgrades

Matt Bartlett – Shepparton Gators Basketball Club

Having access to these facilities for the Gators really creates a really enjoyable atmosphere to be a part of.

Being involved with high-quality facilities really gives you that edge and the feeling like you’ve kind of made it a little bit

I think the upgrades to the stadium only entices more people to come along.
Stands hold 1000 people, at the main stadium there, we’re capped at about 400 or 500 people

So that’s only just going to strengthen our membership numbers. I think you look at your Bendigos, your Ballarats, your Melbournes they have fantastic facilities,

So if we have the facilities to back up the talent that’s in our local community, I think it can only go up and really challenge those types of clubs

What I’d love to see is these stands absolutely packed out.

I’ll be in the stands joining the crowd, cheering on the boys on courtside and just hopefully allowing all of our younger kids to come along play and develop on really fantastic facilities.
