Battle of the Bridge
With the 2014 regular season schedule currently being prepared, the GIANTS have requested to play the Swans at their home ground, SKODA Stadium, instead of the neutral ANZ Stadium.
SKODA Stadium is usually unavailable for the opening rounds of the season as it is located in the Sydney Showgrounds, which plays host to the Sydney Royal Easter Show at this time of the year.
However, an earlier start to next season, combined with the Easter long weekend falling later than usual, has created the possibility of the GIANTS playing either one or two home games at SKODA before the Easter Show takes place.
With premiership-winning players Shane Mumford and Heath Shaw set to join the GIANTS, the club is confident that the match will attract a capacity 25,000 crowd at SKODA for the first 2014 instalment of the Battle of the Bridge.
The Swans played their home game against the GIANTS this year at the SCG.
The complete 2014 AFL regular seasons schedule will be unveiled later this month.
