Shocking video footage has emerged of daredevil teenagers breaking into Marvel Stadium and scaling the roof after hours.
Jordan, 18, and three of his mates snuck into the Docklands stadium about 10pm on Sunday and filmed themselves “exploring” the empty grounds.
The teens, who call themselves “eshays”, are seen roaming behind the stands, climbing ladders, scaling the roof and recklessly driving machinery.
In one clip, the teens are metres high, directly behind the bright Marvel Stadium sign.
“This is insane ... holy shit,” Jordan said.
The teens also walk across the oval and call the view “beautiful” and “amazing”.
The seven-minute video was uploaded to Jordan’s YouTube channel Forte on Monday and has more than 4000 views.
The thrillseeker teen told the Herald Sun he snuck into the iconic stadium for entertainment.
“I do it to explore and take photos,” he said.
“We do it for fun and don’t do anything dumb.”
Jordan said he didn’t see any security guards for the whole two hours he was roaming around.
“I’m not scared I’m going to get caught, it’s more exciting if I do,” he said.
“I know I could out run them.”
The teen from Melbourne’s north has been making controversial YouTube videos for about two years.
He said his home had been raided multiple times by the police over videos about dangerous bike riding stunts.
“I don’t think what I do is stupid,” he said.
“Everyone has their own opinion.”
Despite posting his videos to an audience of more than 10,000 subscribers, Jordan said he wouldn’t encourage copycats.
“Some people just can’t be trusted,” he said.
“We don’t destroy anything, we just explore.”
Although Jordan remained tight-lipped about his next target, he said he had more similar videos planned for “bigger stadiums”.
An AFL spokesman said Marvel Stadium’s management were aware of the incident.
“The stadium is currently undertaking a major redevelopment and the break in occurred through one of the construction zones,” he said.
“The matter has been passed on to Victoria Police and increased security measures have since been put into place by both the stadium and the building contractors.”
Victoria Police said no official report had been made but investigations were ongoing.
