Rugby League Test Opens New Stadium
Australia v New Zealand to launch Melbourne's new rectangular stadium on 7 May 2010
The inaugural match at the new Melbourne stadium will be an international rugby league test between Australia and New Zealand on 7th May... followed just two days later by a major NRL game as Melbourne Storm take on the Brisbane Broncos in the first match at their new home.
New stadium facts:
* 31,500 seats
* 400sqm Sports Campus
* Public cafe, merchandise and club facilities
* Elite training Centre, Gymnasium
* 4 lane lap pool, ice plunge pools, heated spa
The stadium will be more than popular with four teams and three different football codes playing at the ground:
* Melbourne Storm [Rugby League: NRL]
* Melbourne Heart & Melbourne Victory [Football: A-League]
* Melbourne Rebels [Rugby Union: Super Franchise]
Let's hope the surface is top notch... a skilled groundsman will be required to keep the field in top class order when the fixtures at the ground start to pile up. Nevertheless it's geat to see Melbourne finally get a first class rectangular venue for the followers of the rugby and football codes.
