Speaking in Tongues
By Cheyanne Enciso

Sheeran’s second show at the new stadium; how did the new stadium measure up?
In the few months of the Optus Stadium being open, there has already been much debate over the new stadium, the controversial ‘public transport only’ route with no Ubers or any private cars asides from the expensive taxis; the overpriced food and drinks menu, and the delays of getting out of the stadium after a show or game.
