| LaTrobe City Stadium, formerly known as Falcons and Mobil Park, is the former home of the Eastern Pride (Gippsland Falcons) who played in the National Soccer League until they collapsed in 2001. The Stadium has two grandstands, a members stand on the broadcast side, and a larger stand on the opposite side. There are grassed areas at either end behind the goals.
The stadium which was built in 1991 has a total seating capacity of 3,000 in its two stands and has lighting up to broadcasting standard. Other facilities include a large social club and corporate boxes.
As the Eastern Pride are no longer in the National Soccer League, Falcons Park is no longer used for professional sport.
