THE NRL wants Suncorp Stadium to join its major Sydney stadiums in offering spectators a full wi-fi network for smart phones and tablets.

Patrons at Suncorp Stadium and the Gabba are distinctly offline in comparison to the free wi-fi experience enjoyed in the Sydney Cricket Ground's year-old grandstand, ANZ Stadium, Adelaide Oval and Melbourne's Etihad Stadium.

A $10 million investment by the SCG and Sports Ground Trust will provide Allianz Stadium patrons with wi-fi and an internet Protocol TV network from March at next year's NRL, rugby union and football games.

Fans who go to sports events often find some mobile carriers are not able to offer a satisfactory service because the network cannot handle demand at the grounds.

"We want all our major stadiums to be fully connected with wi-fi,'' NRL head of commercial Paul Kind said.

ANZ Stadium bosses boasted last year their Origin match last season was the first to be played in a fully connected stadium, with fans able to use free Wi-Fi to post on social media or access statistics and replays.

Both Suncorp Stadium and the Gabba have wi-fi in their media and corporate boxes and some other areas for operational business, but spectators are unable to access the stadium's wi-fi network.

Suncorp Stadium management declined to comment on any plans for a complete wi-fi service in future when contacted by The Courier-Mail.

The SCG Trust promises patrons at Allianz Stadium next year access with their handheld devices to high-density wi-fi. It permits purchase of food and drinks, network use of social media and a capacity for real-time action replays and statistical updates of games.

NRL chief executive Dave Smith said the wi-fi experience would allow Sydney league fans "the best possible game-day experience (with a range of entertainment and service opportunities''.

Spectators at Allianz Stadium next year and in the new stand at the SCG's cricket Test next month can order food and drink from their seat. They receive a message in reply, which tells them when their order will be ready and the outlet from which to pick it up.

"Venues the world over are having to compete with the at-home experience of sports,'' SCG Trust chief executive Jamie Barkley said.

"When complete, we want fans to access the network from any area of the SCG and Allianz Stadium precinct.

"Our network is about creating the living room experience live (at the ground) and with technology services available in the palm of your hand.''

The MCG's wi-fi capacity reportedly struggled this season to service the public when attendances exceeded 40,000.
