The Brisbane Lions are set to play under lights at Simonds Stadium for the first time, with the AFL today confirming the dates and times for the formerly ‘floating’ Round 23 fixture.

Geelong will host the Lions on Saturday night 30 August at 7:40pm, with the match to be broadcast by Channel Seven.

The match was scheduled on the Saturday, largely to afford the Cats – who are in the race for a top four finish – a sufficient break in the lead-up to Finals.

The Lions will again be organising a special ‘Geelong Road Trip’ for Melbourne-based members, with exact details to be finalised soon.

Should you have any queries in the meantime, or wish to express your interest in being part of the 'Road Trip' to Geelong, then please contact the Membership Team on 1800 216 885 or email membership@lions.com.au
