The Coast is open and ready for business," says Gold Coast Titans CEO Steve Mitchell.
And, it all starts with Des Hasler's side this Saturday night.
Speaking to media outside Cbus Super Stadium today, the Titans boss said his club are excited to bring the community together at the club's first home game of the season.
"We are really really excited to be back on the Coast this weekend," he said.
"We play the Knights here on Saturday at 6:30pm and it is the first live sport on the Coast (since ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred), which has been fairly interrupted by weather events. Buy tickets here.
"So this is a big part of saying the Gold Coast is up and open and ready for business."
Mitchell addressed the media at the home of the Titans with a clear sky above and temperatures north of 30 degrees, signaling that the true Gold Coast was returning.
"It is great to have the Coast back, with blue skies and live sport on," he said.
"We want to encourage everyone to get along.
"We have a big crowd coming and we would encourage you to join us.
"Membership is building really strongly and we are looking forward to a big Legion contingent here on Saturday, along with Mums, Dads and families."
Mitchell spoke to the strength of the club's Membership program with record numbers on the horizon, ahead of the club's first home game of season 2025.
"Momentum has been really strong - we are about 20 to 25% in front of where we were year on year with Membership, and we will push towards a record number for the club.
"We will push towards 20,000 Members this year."

Mitchell spoke to his sides first up defeat to the Bulldogs and where Des Hasler's side would look to improve in their second outing.
"There was a bit of rust clearly from what we saw last night, but there is also some good things to see there and we are looking forward to seeing where the team is at when they take on the Newcastle Knights this weekend," he said.
"There are a lot of things that are fundamentally building.
"I think we will compete and with our pack going forward, and the quality of the halves sitting behind them, it means we will compete strongly this year.
Mitchell also spoke to importance of a strong first up appearance at home.
"It is important to be home and put on a good performance for our home audiences (Members and fans),"Mitchell said.
"That isn't lost on the player group or the coaching staff, so we need to show up this weekend and really go to work.
"We are cognisant of the fact that a lot of people in this community were affected for a long time, so it is important that we turn up for those people and they get an opportunity to come along and have a good day."
