From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fremantle Oval is a stadium in the centre of Fremantle, Western
Australia. It currently has a capacity of 17,500 with terracing
and a members area holding 750. Fremantle Oval was originally used
for cricket, but in 1895
hosted its first game of Australian rules football [1]. It is located
between the Fremantle Hospital, Fremantle
Markets and the Fremantle Prison.
Although the Fremantle Dockers play all AFL home games at Subiaco Oval, they
are based at Fremantle Oval and use it for training, administrative
offices and sometimes for pre-season matches. South Fremantle Football
Club, the Bulldogs, train and play their home WAFL matches here and
are one of the few sporting organisations in Western Australia to
own their club rooms freehold, rather than on a long-term
lease.
Cricket has also been played at the ground and in the past it
has also been used a venue for conferences, rock concerts
(including the Big Day
Out) and exhibitions.
