Now this may end up being seen as up their in the most boring posts category. But in my defence I have waited till off season.
Why oh why has the car park not has the refurb/ground force treatment?
2/3 weeks ago we saw an old lady fall over in the car park and was very viable shaken. We offered help and she was OK, but very upset with the surface quality and unkempt nature of the car park, blaming the loose gravel under foot.
I know I am not alone in detesting the loose gravel all over the place.

I did its job for a short while, only when it was still were they placed it in the parking bays.. But it's all over the bloody place now.
It's not only unsightly and hard to walk on, but becoming dangerous to walk and drive on, not to mention trying to push a pram or pushchair on it! I can't be the only one to have noticed some of the let's say (can't think of a kinder definition) boy racers, spinning their tyres in an attempt to look like a rally driver when leaving after a game!
Cannot some of the money that the arena received for the refurb and modernisation be used to actively improve the dam carpark?

Great point Jay and well made. A few seasons ago we arrived late (ish) for a Panthers game. My wife tripped over a tree root that was sticking up and fell, injuring her face and smashing her glasses. We were helped by a couple of Steelers fans, and were taken to the first aid room. I took a photo of the offending root. The arena were very good about it, apologised, and paid for her glasses. A short time after, most of the trees were removed.
I fully agree that it's time the car park was refurbished.
