Australian rules football

There are two ovals in the complex. The first stage cost $4.2 million and opened on 29th April 2006.

The main oval is home to the Casey Scorpions Victorian Football League side.

The current capacity is around 4,000 with plans to add more stands.

NAB Cup pre-season regional challenge matches have been played there, with the record crowd being 3,500 set in 2007 when Hawthorn played Essendon.

It has been touted as a potential training base for several Australian Football League clubs, notably the Melbourne Football Club and the AFL is touting it to be the future site for a boutique stadium in Melbourne of similar size to Optus Oval or Skilled Stadium to be a third option for games behind the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Telstra Dome.

The ground also hosted many of the games from the 2008 AFL National Under 18 Championships.
