I've got a problem with the continuity of the stadium between 1908 and its demolition.

I attended various attractions there during my youth, and yes it stood on high ground.

Trouble is, the photos of the fight on Boxing Day 1908 show the stadium in a valley surrounded by higher ground, looking much like it was originally sited down in Rushcutter's Bay where the park is.

Can anybody help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.12.252.113 (talk) 03:12, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you're right - the photo of the Burns-Johnson 1908 fight illustrates a temporary stadium - the permanent Stadium building was built some distance away from the temporary one in 1911. See discussion here --Very trivial (talk) 06:24, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
