About
The construction of this mammoth stadium began in 1997 and was named Victoria Stadium back then.
Establishment
The stadium was completed in the year 2000 and cost a whopping $370 million which makes perfect sense when you walk into the stadium and drop your jaw in awe.
Events
Many great sports events, tournaments, and musical events have occurred at the Etihad Stadium since its inception. During the summer, when concerts and events aren’t few and far in between, hotels near Etihad Stadium are generally quite full up, including properties like Oaks on Market, which is a mere walk away.
Fun fact
Because the ground in the Stadium has an odd North and South orientation, only the South part of the ground gets sunshine all around the year while the North gets just six weeks of sunshine every year. Therefore, most of the events and stages are set up in the South; the damage to the grass will be healed sooner with the grass there growing quicker in comparison to its polar opposite side.
