For Ballarat fans who waited patiently through the redevelopment, the excitement of a big match day is back, right here on home turf.
The @westernbulldogs and @stkildafc brought elite women's football to Mars Stadium for its first major event since completion, with fans taking their seats in a new 5,000-seat grandstand that doubles the stadium's seating to 10,000.
When the crowds head home, the same ground returns to local juniors, and the new athletics track, clubhouse and park open the precinct to schools, clubs and anyone out for a walk, a ride or a kick of the footy. It's a place the city will continue to grow up with.
Delivered by @developmentvic on behalf of Sport and Recreation Victoria in partnership with @cityofballarat, designed by COX in association with Morton + Co Architects, and built by @kaneconstructions and @awnicholsonptyltdw.

Lovely. I can see a through line between this and other Cox work at Sydney Showground and the SCG Noble Bradman Stand.
