Sydney Olympic Park. Death of identity

David Humphreys, former GM of Allphones Arena and past president of the Sydney Olympic Park Business Association (SOPBA), has passed away today from health complications. Mr Humphreys left the park last year after 10 years to return to his hometown of Perth to take up the role of GM of the 15,000-seat Perth Arena, which is scheduled to open on November 10. He began his career in Perth as the GM of the now demolished Perth Entertainment Centre, before moving to NSW to manage the Sydney Superdrome. “This news is a shock and a great loss to the venue, the industry and more importantly his friends and colleagues," said Karen Grega, SOPBA CEO.
