Macquarie Point Stadium, Proposed sports stadium in Hobart, Australia
Macquarie Point Stadium is a planned multipurpose sports venue in Hobart designed to hold 23,000 spectators with a retractable roof system. The complex will include a function room for 1,500 people and flexible spaces for different event types.
The site functioned as a freight transport hub until operations relocated to Brighton Transport Hub in 2014. This redevelopment marks a shift from industrial use to modern sports and entertainment infrastructure.
The venue will serve as home ground for Tasmania's first Australian Football League team, bringing professional sports to the island state.
The venue will be located in an evolving part of Hobart with multiple transport connections. Visitors should note the project is still in planning stages, so specific details may change before opening.
The northern stand features a built-in stage pocket for concerts, allowing the venue to expand capacity to up to 31,500 people for entertainment events. This dual-purpose design transforms the space beyond traditional sports use.
