Game day activities will be focused on a family fun day theme and a tripleheader football package when the Vodafone Warriors host their second to last NRL regular season match at Mount Smart Stadium on Sunday (gates open: 11.30am).

The Vodafone Warriors haven’t quite bought a zoo but they are bringing Old Macdonald’s Mobile Farm to the stadium while Auckland Zoo memberships and family passes will be at stake in a relay featuring selected Vodafone Warriors family membership holders.

A special Kids’ Combo food package is on offer. For just $6.00 there’s a choice of chips and mini hot dogs or chips and chicken nuggets (plus a free Vodafone Warriors drink bottle with the first 500 combos purchased).

Among many features in the Harvey Norman Community Fun Zone will be a balloon artist making all sorts of shapes for kids.

On the field there’ll be mini mod games between the NYC and NRL games.
