Eureka Stadium

Eureka Stadium is an oval shaped sports stadium located in the Ballarat Showgrounds at Wendouree, an outer suburb of Ballarat in Australia.HistoryThe first oval was established in 1990 on a site formerly occupied by the Ballarat Showgrounds Harness Racing track (1952–1966) when the North Ballarat Football Club and North Ballarat Cricket Club relocated from their original club facilities that were located on the eastern side of the former harness racing track. The 1990-built oval was over 170 metres long and 140 metres wide and rotated on an East to West axis, and included a new pavilion (The North Ballarat Sports Club) which was built on private land adjacent to the northern flank of the oval.Since 1990, the main oval has been used for many events whilst primarily being used as an Australian rules football and cricket venue. It annually hosts the Ballarat Gift (Athletics Carnival) and is used by the Ballarat Agricultural and Pastoral Society during the annual Ballarat Agricultural Show. The facility today is the home of the North Ballarat Football Club of the Victorian Football League, the North Ballarat Rebels of the TAC Cup, and the North Ballarat City of the Ballarat Football and Netball League. It has also been used as a venue for Central Highlands Football League finals.
