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.
