The West Coast Eagles set foot on their new home ground for the first time this afternoon as excitement continues to build ahead of the club's round one fixture at Optus Stadium next year.

The Eagles toured their new change rooms, lecture theatre, warm-up area and playing surface, where they will play home games in front of 60,000 fans.

The Eagles will host Sydney on Sunday, March 25 at their new home ground in what will be one of the most anticipated matches in WA football history.
