  Brisbane Bears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No venue in Brisbane was suitable (the Gabba was encircled by a greyhound track at the time) and so the Bears based themselves at Carrara Oval, 40 minutes drive south-east of Brisbane on the Gold Coast.
Carrara was very convenient for Christopher Skase, now acknowledged as the owner of the club.
To Skase, the Bears were another outpost in his media and leisure empire which also included the Mirage resorts (one of which was very close to Carrara) and the TV0 television station (later sold to acquire the Seven Network), official broadcasters of the VFL.

 Carrara Oval - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carrara Oval is a sporting venue on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
By 1993 the Bears were based in Brisbane, playing their home games at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (also known as the Gabba).
Carrara Oval currently lacks a major tenant, although it is likely to play host to a handful of AFL matches in early 2006 while the Melbourne Cricket Ground is unavailable due to the Commonwealth Games.

 VERMONT - LoveToKnow Article on VERMONT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
There are no mountain ranges in the state E. of the Green Mountains, but distributed along the entire E. border are a number of tall and oval or conical shaped masses known as the Granitic Mountains, and between these and the Green Mountains the country is largely occupied by high hills and deeply carved valleys.
Mount Ascutney, one of the Granitic Mountains, rises abruptly from the floor of the Connecticut Valley to a height of 3320 ft. The least broken section of Vermont is on the somewhat gentle slope of the Green Mountains in the N.W. and on Grand Isle, North Hero Island, and Isle La Motte in Lake Champlain.
The principal supply is in West Rutland, Proctor and Pittsford; this, the Rutland marble, is a duller, less lustrous white, and of a greater durability than the Carrara marble, and is used largely for monuments and statuary.

Michelangelo enthusiastically went ahead with this challenging project, which was to include more than 40 figures, spending months in the quarries to obtain the necessary Carrara marble.
In 1538-39 plans were under way for the remodeling of the buildings surrounding the Campidoglio (Capitol) on the Capitoline Hill, the civic and political heart of the city of Rome.
Although Michelangelo's program was not carried out until the late 1550s and not finished until the 17th century, he designed the Campidoglio around an oval shape, with the famous antique bronze equestrian statue of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius in the center.

Although there is no public timetable to have an AFL club based there, the AFL has moved to ensure that Carrara Oval is available for top level footy.
Formerly the home of the Brisbane Bears/Lions, before their move to the Gabba ground in Brisbane itself, the Gold Coast facility would be the obvious venue for a future south east Queensland side.
It appeared possible that the oval would be lost to the game, as the Gold Coast City Council were considering re-developing it into a rectangular configuration to suit sports such as Rugby League and Union.
