 The St. Kilda Football Club moved to Moorabbin in 1965, to be closer to the heart of its supporter and player base. The ground hosted 254 AFL/VFL matches with the last being in 1993 before the Saints moved to Waverley Park. The club still uses the ground as their training base. Their social and administration is also located at the ground. Moorabbin was used for Baseball in the late 1990's when the Melbourne Reds played there. A high quality lighting system was installed for this as well as bucket seating in front of the social club stand and other improvements.
Moorabbin Oval has 2 main grandstands on the wing including the social club stand. Standing room surrounds the rest of the ground. The Saints announced on March 19 2007 that they had signed a naming rights sponsor to have the ground officially known as Linen House Oval.
