The Bankwest Stadium seat that no one wants

Easter Monday marks the official opening of Parramatta's new Bankwest Stadium with the Eels hosting the Wests Tigers in the NRL.

The magnificent 30,000 capacity venue, also known as Western Sydney Stadium, will be the home of the Eels and A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers.

With its intimate structure designed to amplify atmosphere for fans of rectangular sports, the new stadium is expected to be one of the best in Australia.

However, during a recent open day at the venue, one punter found a seat in the house that definitely wasn't the best.

The view of the pitch from the particular seat in the premium area is obscured by a concrete wall next to the staircase.
