It is a great stadium but it wasn't purpose built - and it shows.
The idea was that it was designed as a national stadium of sorts for the Olympic sports as Bruce stadium was built to be the centrepiece of the AIS.
It had an athletics track and had much less seating than it does now. All that changed in 1990 when the Raiders moved to the ground and its purpose shifted to that of a football stadium. For such a purpose, it was far from ideal.
The ground was redeveloped for the 2000 Olympics by the addition of an 'inner bowl' which was just building seating over where the track once was and changing the dimensions to a rectangular field - no more AFL (there was only one AFL premiership game ever held here).
It still feels incomplete and a bit tacked on. The ends are still unfinished. Overall though, it is still a very nice place to watch footy. I hope the A-League can establish itself here so there is year-round footy at Bruce, I mean Canberra, Stadium. |

very good facilities - state of the art for sports. However, you feel that when you are there it is a little too far away from the action. Also the ground is difficult to get to without using public transport. |
