AFL to open Marvel Stadium roof when weather is clear during twilight and night games
Marvel Stadium has introduced a new roof policy following last year’s “sweatgate” incident involving Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge.
7NEWS chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary has revealed that the venue — which is owned by the AFL — will now prioritise fan (and coach) comfort by opening the roof for twilight and night matches when weather conditions are clear.
“And right now, there is no man more relieved in the footy landscape than Luke Beveridge,” Cleary said on Channel 7’s The Agenda Setters on Wednesday.
“Marvel, they’ve changed the rule off the back of this man.”
Cleary then showed vision of Beveridge in the coaches’ box during his team’s Round 1 clash with North Melbourne in 2025.
