Saturday 8 August is shaping up to be a landmark day for Bears supporters as we create a sea of red and black ahead of the final NRL game at HBF Park before it becomes the home of the Perth Bears in 2027.
Be among the first to purchase the Perth Bears inaugural jersey, then join Head Coach Mal Meninga, a team of drummers and hundreds of passionate supporters as we march together into HBF Park – the future Bear Pit of the Perth Bears!
Whether you’re sitting in the Bears Supporter Zone or elsewhere in the stadium, everyone is welcome to take part.
