Wests Tigers have taken aim at fellow Bankwest Stadium tenants Parramatta on the eve of the venue's opening, saying the $300 million facility belongs to the people of western Sydney, not just the Eels.

"The last time I checked the stadium was built by the state government for the people of western Sydney, including their teams the Wests Tigers, Bulldogs, Western Sydney Wanderers ... and Parra," acting Tigers chief executive Simon Cook said after being forced to digest a week-long media blitz about the Eels' new stadium. "We know Parramatta have been nomads the last two years, but it's disappointing the way they have carried on about the new stadium being theirs.

"We can't wait to play our five games at our new home, including next Monday when it's hosted by our co-tenants.

"What a wonderful sight it will be when our new ground is lit up in black, white and orange for our first home game against Canberra in round 13."
