GOLD Coast venues will cover all the action of State of Origin game three for those who cannot make it to Cbus Super Stadium.

Robina Pavilion manager Damien Stephen said his venue was the “closest and biggest” place to watch all the Origin thrills and spills without the crowds.

“We’re going to have massive outdoor screens, daybeds and fire pits,” Mr Stephen said.

“We’re going to make it a festival experience.”

The venue has prepared for more than 380 people, with shuttle buses running from the stadium grounds to the hotel on the night.

“I think it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity having the game in the Gold Coast,” Mr Stephen said.

“There’s that much excitement about it. (Since the Covid-19 lockdowns) I think people are looking forward to getting out a little bit – still responsibly, of course.”
