McDonald Jones Stadium is receiving a turf upgrade, thanks to $1.4-million in state government funds.

It’s hoped the re-surfacing will help attract more top events to the region.

“They’ve got the best stuff going on here, which is fantastic, so it’s credit to the stadium and the New South Wales government for investing the money so that the Knights and ourselves, hopefully Wallabies, hopefully Socceroos and the Matildas. If you’ve got a big surface you can attract these big teams.” – Lawrie McKinna, Newcastle Jets CEO.
