Stadium Australia was designed to maximise the total entertainment experience and to set new standards in spectator comfort, corporate and member facilities, weather protection, patron circulation, safety features, quality of food and beverage, restaurant facilities and replay video screen and scoreboard technology.
Engineers for the stadium, Sinclair Knight Merz, commented that these four thrust blocks, weighing 140t each, were particularly complex, requiring 'lots of reinforcement' and the use of mechanical couplers to avoid congestion due to the excessive lapping of the Y36 bars.
From March 2002 the stadium was able to be quickly reconfigured from rectangular to oval shape and vice versa.
