The EMR Stadium

History

Macquarie Point Stadium is a multi-purpose domed stadium to be constructed at Macquarie Point in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, Australia. The stadium will be primarily used for Australian rules football and cricket as the home ground of the Tasmania Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL). The stadium is likely to host other sports such as rugby league, rugby union and soccer, as well as multi-sporting events. The stadium forms part of an agreement between the Tasmanian Government and the Australian Football League (AFL) to establish a Tasmanian-based AFL team.
