Sydney Sports Ground
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sydney Sports Ground was a basic rugby league ground in Sydney, Australia. Its primary use was the home venue for the Eastern Suburbs Roosters rugby league club in 1908 for its inception. The venue was their home in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership, but soccer teams also used the ground for major matches.
The Sydney Sports Ground was located on the site of the Sydney Football Stadium. The ground had 2 main grandstands and a huge hill making capacity over 35,000. Soccer and Rugby League were amongst the sports which were held at the ground. The Eastern Suburbs Rugby League club played their home games at the Sydney Sports Ground before 1987. It also held World Youth Soccer Championships in 1981.
The Sydney Sports Ground was demolished in 1986/7 to allow the building of the Sydney Football Stadium which opened in 1988.
