Who would have that back in the 1850s that this ground was the site of a rubbish dump! Fast forward to the present day where anyone who visits this famous old ground can see the luscious flat, green pitch, a perfect playing surface for the citys cricket players, the Speed Blitz Blues. A centre of cricketing excellence in Australia as the Blues are the most prestigious team in the country. Take a seat over by the famous Yabba, a bronze statue dedicated to the one time notorious heckler. On the way into the ground realise the vast heritage involved with this old stadium with statues of all the great players from cricket, rugby league, rugby union and the Australian football league. A great day out for all the family to enjoy sport in the sun.
