	Telstra Stadium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Telstra Stadium, formerly Stadium Australia, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Homebush, Sydney, Australia which opened in March 1999.\nThe stadium was originally built at a cost of $600 million to host the 2000 Summer Olympics.
		In 2002, the stadium went through a major reconfiguration, as to allow cricket and Australian Rules Football to be played at the ground.
		After the reconfiguration the capacity was reduced to 83,500 for a rectangular field and 73,000 for an oval field.\nIn 2003 roofs were added over the North and South stands, which means that now 90% of all seating is under cover.

	Aussie Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sydney Football Stadium (SFS) was built in 1988 to be the premium "rectangular field" (football and rugby) stadium in Sydney.
		Aussie Stadium usually hosts both NRL semi finals and one NRL preliminary final as well as the annual pre-season Charity Shield Rugby League match between South Sydney and St.
		This much larger new stadium took a lot of the major events away from the SFS, leaving it as a second-tier venue although it is far from a white elephant.

	Sports Venue Technology - Stadium Australia - Sydney
		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.

		Although Stadium Australia was purpose-built for the Olympics, its designers made provision for its future uses, with technology like 'smart seats' incorporated into the design.

		From my experience on Stadium Australia, I've found that it's just as easy to develop an attitude imbalance in other important areas as it is to get our life values distorted.
