If you’re not planning on heading down to Launceston for Round One, but still want to watch the Brisbane Lions’ season opener against Hawthorn on Saturday 22 March LIVE with fellow supporters, then the Club recommends visiting one of our official big screen venues in Melbourne or Brisbane.

Victorian-based fans will be treated to a special ‘season launch’ event at The Oxford Scholar Hotel (located at 427 Swanston Street in Melbourne’s CBD), complete with FREE competitions, giveaways, activities, and entertainment.

The pre-match activities are set to commence at around 3:30pm, with the official bounce-down scheduled for 4:40pm (VIC time).

Fans will be able to order a late lunch/early dinner/afternoon snack from the extensive bistro menu, with members receiving a 10% discount upon presentation of their 2014 membership card.

But with only 120 seats available within the venue, the Club suggests you contact The Oxford Scholar Hotel on (03) 9663 1619 to reserve your spot today.

Table bookings will be taken on a first-in first-served basis, with plenty of standing room available at the bar for anyone who unfortunately misses out.

So help kick-off the season in style and soak up the atmosphere with other Melbourne-based Lions fans at The Oxford Scholar Hotel on Saturday 22 March.

Brisbane-based fans are also encouraged to join together and show their support for the team at the Club’s official social facility, LIONS@springwood.

Please note, however, that the match will be broadcast from 3:30pm (QLD time) due to daylight savings in Tasmania.

With a variety of dining options and countless big screens on offer, LIONS@springwood is the perfect place for local fans to come together and watch the Lions LIVE when they’re playing interstate.
