NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Telstra Stadium

Telstra Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct of Homebush, Sydney, Australia. The stadium was completed in March 1999 at a cost of A$690 million to host the 2000 Summer Olympics. It was originally called Stadium Australia before Telstra acquired the naming rights in 2002 (until 2009, with further options). Its name as Stadium Australia had led to confusion by many with another Sydney stadium, Aussie Stadium.
