Behind the scenes tours will also be happening and those at the open day will get to see things not open to the general public, from the players’ changing rooms to the corporate boxes.
Allen Garner from VBase, the company behind AMI Stadium said the purpose of the day was to welcome back the Canterbury public to AMI Stadium and to give Cantabrians a sneak peak at the new stand. “We want to thank everyone for their support during the redevelopment. This is a chance to get behind the scenes in the players’ tunnel and coaches box,” he said. “Plus you can meet sport stars at the Stadium.”
