The stadium, with a maximum capacity of 10,000, has also hosted a series of AFL pre-season matches. In 2014, the stadium hosted a Victorian Football League game between the Collingwood and Richmond reserves.[2] In 2019, the stadium hosted its first regular season AFL Women's game, with Collingwood hosting the Greater Western Sydney in Round 4.[3]
An upgrade to the site by the Latrobe City Council commenced in 2018, and saw the installation of new netball courts, lighting towers, a shared pavilion, and a synthetic playing surface for Australian rules and cricket.[4] The second stage of the upgrade was completed in January 2019.[5]
