Sydney Football Stadium
Sydney Football Stadium, commercially known as Allianz Stadium and formerly Aussie Stadium, is a football stadium located in Moore Park, Sydney, Australia. Built in 1988 next to the Sydney Cricket Ground, it was Sydney's premier rectangular arena for Rugby League, Rugby Union and Soccer matches.
While Kangaroo, Wallaby and Sotseroos played occasionally on the pitch, Sydney Roosters, NSW and Sydney Football Club were the main tenants of the pitch. Sydney Football Stadium has generally hosted the National Rugby League semi-finals and one qualifier final, and over the years has hosted the Charity Shield pre-season football match between South Sydney and St George Illawarra. From 1988 to 1998 it hosted all NSW/Australia Rugby League Grand Finals and the first NRL Flag Grand Finals.
In November 2017, the NSW government announced plans to demolish and rebuild the stadium. The stadium was closed in October 2018 for a concert by Michael Bublé. Demolition began in early 2019 and continued after several legal challenges, becoming a major issue in the 2019 state elections.
