Stadium Australia, known commercially as ANZ Stadium is located in the western suburb of Sydney Olympic Park. It was originally built in 1999 as the Sydney Olympic Stadium for the 2000 Summer Olympic Games. It has been hosted many sports including Rugby League, Rugby Union, Australian Rules Football, Soccer and Cricket but also many events and concerts. There were controversial plans to demolish this stadium in recent years and then plans to renovate but these have been scrapped by the state government in order to focus the funds on economic growth following the corona virus crisis.

It kind of reminds me of some futuristic architecture.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual place. It's a shame that it's so disposable.
