The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used. The construction was started in September 1996 and completed just two and a half years later: on March 6, 1999, Sydney’s Olympic Stadium saw its first sport event: two rugby13 matches watched by 104,583 spectators. From October 2001 to October 2003, Stadium Australia was refurbished to make it the only stadium in the world capable of hosting five different professional sports: Rugby13 league, Rugby15 (Union), Australian Football, Soccer and Cricket.

  • Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics the Games
    Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics The Games Preparations Melbourne 1956 preparations and venues Focus Threats to preparations in the months before the Melbourne Olympic Games. Activity Read the following account and note the main events and problems which made Melbourne’s preparations difficult at that time. By mid-1956, with Brundage satisfied and the Olympic machinery finally moving with real precision, it seemed Melbourne’s problems were finally over. Nothing could harm the Games now, except maybe an outbreak of War. This did come before long: twice, really, in the form of a couple of invasions. The armed forces of Israel, Britain and France moved into Egypt to contest what became known as the Suez Crisis, and a few weeks later bloody fighting broke out in Hungary, as huge columns of tanks rolled into Budapest and 200,000 Soviet troops began to suppress a rebellion. Tension between Taiwan and mainland China increased to a point where it was barely tolerable, and finally the People’s Republic refused to attend the Olympics. To some Cold War warriors, this last omission was a godsend. One of them, James (later Sir James) Plimsoll, had been outraged when he learned of plans to sit the People’s Republic team of 216 in the same dining hall as teams from Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Burma and Ceylon. After a detailed analysis of kitchen and mess-room arrangements for the Olympic village, he wrote in a confidential memo: “I appreciate that it is easier to cater for groups which eat similar food, but the result of putting all these people together is to make it easy for the Communist Chinese to maintain contact with the rest of East Asia.

  • Stadium Australia
    Final Business Case Summary Stadium Australia September 2019 September 2019 About this report This document summarises the Final Business Case (Business Case) for the redevelopment of Stadium Australia. The stadium, located within Sydney Olympic Park, has 83,600 seats and was constructed as the main venue for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. The intent of the project is to redevelop the existing stadium into a permanent rectangular venue with 70,000 seats. This reconfiguration will move seats closer to the field of play and update the stadium to contemporary standards. The Business Case for the redevelopment of Stadium Australia was developed between September 2018 and March 2019, and was considered by the NSW Government in August 2019 following Gateway reviews and a peer review by the Centre for International Economics. Strategic context Stadium Australia is culturally and economically important Stadium Australia was the focus of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and is culturally important to the residents of Sydney and to Australians more broadly. The Stadium is also economically important and plays a significant role in NSW’s major event strategy. It hosts key national sporting events and attracts blockbuster international sport and entertainment. Events hosted at Stadium Australia create economic activity through ticket sales, television and broadcast rights, advertising, sponsorship and the sale of merchandise. This boosts the economy by contributing directly to output, to Gross Domestic Product and by providing employment opportunities for the local community. Sporting and entertainment events, particularly major events, also increase intrastate, interstate and international tourism. Events can attract visitors to NSW, and this promotes activity in tourism- related industries such as accommodation, cafes and restaurants, retail and transport.
