Like Waverley, it was built specifically for Australian rules football, unlike most grounds that were originally designed for cricket. It is used as a home ground by St Kilda, Western Bulldogs, Carlton and Essendon. It is also a partial home ground for the Kangaroos, and other Melbourne based teams in the AFL competition (along with the MCG). In the summer months, it is used as the home ground for the Melbourne Victory team games in the A-League football (soccer) competition. The stadium has also been host to other sporting events, including cricket, rugby league and rugby union, as well as many general entertainment events such as concerts and wrestling.

The non-commercial name for the venue is Docklands Stadium, which is named for its location in Melbourne Docklands. The name is used primarily by those who wish to mention stadiums by their non-commercial names, such as non-commercial organisations like the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It is also colloquially referred to as simply the Dome, particularly by clubs who are sponsored by rival telecommunications companies. Some club and AFL supporters also refer to it as Phone Dome.

Turf & Surface Issues

Since its inception, Telstra Dome has endured a barrage of criticism over the quality and suitability of its turf, in particular for AFL requirements. It has been criticized by players and coaches for its slipperiness, hardness and lack of grass coverage.^[2] The turf has required regular expensive replacement since its inception due to a lack of sunlight inside the stadium. The turf itself is supplied under contract by HG Turf, whereas the responsibility of laying and managing the turf lies with Telstra Dome management.^[3]

Issues with the ground's ability to grow grass all year round can be attributed to the stadium's irregular North-South orientation which was a requirement due to its placement between the surrounding roads and Docklands body of water. In particular, the Northern end of the stadium only receives 6 weeks of sunlight a year. Concerts held at the stadium are also usually placed at the Southern end due to the ability for grass to recover faster in that section of the ground.^[4]

In August 2007, Telstra Dome chief executive Ian Collins confirmed talks were underway to purchase an elaborate lighting and heating system to allow grass to be grown by curators all year round. This followed extensive visits by Telstra Dome officials to several World Cup soccer venues in Germany, locations in the USA and Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium.^[5]

Studies have also been conducted due to concerns that hard surfaces like Telstra Dome increase the likelihood of player injury, in particular in contributing to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.^[6]

On the injury front, two broken legs have occurred at this venue, - Richmond's Nathan Brown horrifically broke his leg in 2005 [2] and St Kilda's Matt Maguire did the same in 2006 [3] Richmond Football Club, nicknamed The Tigers, is an Australian rules football club playing in the Australian Football League. ...
