Venues that need to be added by someone

Is there any reason why Skilled Park (aka Robina Stadium) on the Gold Coast has been omitted?222.152.26.159 (talk) 04:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Add the Joondalup Arena in Perth as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_Joondalup

Re-organisation

I propose the following changes:

All tables be merged into one
If the same entry is listed twice, merge the rows
An extra column added for "shape" or "type" (eg. oval/rectangular)
The location be split into "city" and "state"
Set the table as "sortable"
Font size reduced to 90%
The "tenants" column be formatted to group teams by sport and use abbreviated names

This will allow the table to be sorted by capacity, state, shape, as the user prefers - like this:

Stadium	City	State	Shape	Capacity	Tenants
Melbourne Cricket Ground	Melbourne	Vic	oval	100,000	Australian rules football: Richmond, Essendon, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Melbourne Cricket: Australia, Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground	Sydney	NSW	oval	44,002	Australian rules football: Sydney Cricket:, Australia, New South Wales
Aussie Stadium	Sydney	NSW	rectangular	45,500	Rugby league: Roosters Football (soccer): Sydney FC
Suncorp Stadium	Brisbane	Qld	rectangular	52,500	Rugby league: Brisbane Football (soccer): Queensland

It will also make the page more useful than the existing "Sports venues in Australia" category and its sub-categories - if it didn't, there wouldn't be any justification in having the list article. -- Chuq 08:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No complaints - so I'm working on this now - if it looks odd/unfinished please be aware it is in the process of conversion! -- Chuq (talk) 03:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, all done. Changes I have made (apart from the above list):

Remove IRB Sevens World Series (one off event)
Remove Subiaco and MCG from RU national team (AFAIK TDome, TStadium and Suncorp are regular)
Add A-League teams
Add ARC teams
Add national team venues for football (soccer) - MCG and TStadium
Add national team venues for cricket - six state capital venues

Changes still to be made:

Link all city and state names - since the table is sortable "linking only the first occurrence" won't really work
Add Rugby League State of Origin
Manually arrange the rows to some default sort order (probably alphabetically or by capacity)
maybe add direct Austadiums link to each row

Any more suggestions? -- Chuq (talk) 04:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tracks

Are there any large horse or dog racetracks in Australia? If so, shouldn't they be in this article? How about auto race tracks, or are those only in the US? AnteaterZot 06:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of ARC Stadia

Seeing as the ARC is now defunct, I think we should remove all ARC teams and their stadiums (if they are sole tenants) because they no longer play at the highest domestic level.Morstar (talk) 13:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stadiums or Venues?

Any reason why this articles claims to be a list of venues but only lists stadiums? Is this indicate of some sort of pro-football bias to the article? --Falcadore (talk) 07:49, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit of a joke really, isn't it? I think it's especially cute how they've listed Australian national teams as a "tenant".--Gibson Flying V (talk) 02:13, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should nominate it for AfD then?

Any opinions as to how non-stadium venues should be indicated? --Falcadore (talk) 05:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
