telstra dome

Docklands Stadium, also known by its sponsored name Telstra Dome, is a multi purpose sports and entertainment stadium in the Docklands precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The stadium was developed as a replacement for Waverley Park. Originally developed by Docklands Stadium Consortium and thereafter controlled by Seven Network the remaining leasehold interest in the stadium on 21 June 2006 was sold to James Fielding Funds Management for AU$330 million In 2025 the AFL is expected to take over the ownership[2].
Like Waverley, it was built for Australian rules football, unlike most grounds of that size in Australia that were designed for cricket. It is used as a home ground by the AFL clubs Carlton, Essendon, North Melbourne, St Kilda and Western Bulldogs. Other Melbourne-based teams in the AFL competition play home games at the Telstra Dome (along with the MCG). The stadium has also been host to other sporting events, including association football (soccer), cricket, rugby league and rugby union, as well as many general entertainment events such as concerts (Robbie Williams, Barbara Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day and U2), wrestling (WWE Global Warning, 2002), and boxing (Kostya Tszyu vs Jesse James Leilya, 2003).
The ground hosted two quarter finals of the 2003 Rugby World Cup, the Rugby 7s at the 2006 Commonwealth Gameswill be used in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup for the Australia vs England game and will be a part of an Australian bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[4] In the summer months, it is used as the home ground for Melbourne Victory games in the A-League and the AFC Champions League.
The venue appeared in the 2007 film "Ghost Rider". Its name, wherever visible, has been digitally changed to the SoBe Dome.
