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.

  • Sydney Olympic Park
    THESIS PROJECT SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK OLYMPIC LEGACY OR BURDEN BY BEN JAMES 2007 AN UNDERGRADUATE THESIS SUBMITTED AS A PARTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE BACHELOR OF PLANNING DEGREE, UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES 2007 ABSTRACT ‘The best Olympic Games ever’ are the words that Olympic organising committees around the world want to hear after they have hosted the Olympic Games. This title can only be held by one host city, and the current holder is Sydney. However, like many host cities in the past, infrastructure built for the Games has not had much of a post-games life. Due to this lack of post-games use, the main Olympic site at Homebush is perceived as a burden on Sydney rather than the unambiguous positive legacy envisaged. Sydney Olympic Park has even been described as a ‘white elephant’. This thesis will look at how the site as a whole has functioned since the Games, with particular reference to underutilisation of the two main stadiums. The potential of the 2002 master plan to inject new uses and vitality into the site is considered. The thesis provides a series of best practice guidelines that could be used by future hosts of similar mega-events to ensure that Games-related infrastructure does not become a burden on the host city. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would firstly like to thank Peter Williams, who as my thesis advisor provided me with the guidance and assistance that was required for me to complete my thesis. I secondly would like to thank Ellie for her assistance in the reading and formatting of my thesis, as well as her continued support throughout the thesis project.
