Baseball Stadium
(Showground Main Arena)

The Baseball Stadium is the centre of activity during the annual Sydney Royal Easter Show and throughout the Games, will host all baseball events. The covered grandstand and open-air tiered grass banks bring the Baseball Stadium to a seating capacity of 20,000. The grandstand has rooms that can be used for corporate dinners, seminars and cocktail dinners as well as larger rooms that can seat up to 300 people.

The Dome & Pavilions
(Showground Exhibition Complex)

The Dome will host Basketball preliminaries during the 2000 Games (finals will be held in the SuperDome) for both Olympic and Paralympic events. For the Olympics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Volleyball, Badminton, Handball and training will take place in various pavilions in the showground. Paralympic Judo, Boccia, Volleyball, Rugby, Fencing, Powerlifting, Goalball and training will also take place in the pavilions.

Sydney International Athletics Centre
(Athletics Warm-up Venue)

The Sydney International Athletics Centre, open since 1994, is a multi-functional, two arena complex that is an international standard track and field facility, holding competition events and training for both amateurs and elite sporting groups. The main competition arena seats a total of 15,000 (5,000 grandstand and 10,000 temporary seating on grass banks) and is used as a venue for national championships, little athletics, schools, veteran and disabled training and athletics.

The 40,000 cubic metres of earth removed during the building of the centre have been re-used for landscaping and the temporary seating on the grass banks. During the Games, the Athletics Centre will only be used as a warm up and training venue, the actual competition being held in the Olympic Stadium, but it will return to its role of the premier athletics venue after the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

State Hockey Centre

The $15.5 million dollar complex next to the State Sports Centre is currently host to only hockey (carnivals, teams and school events) but during the Games will be hosting Hockey and Paralympic Soccer. Currently only housing a crowd capacity of 2,275, temporary seating will be added during the Games to boost the capacity to 15,000 seats. The complex consists of 2 fields, one a newer, competition pitch. Each of the pitches are synthetic and are 91.44 x 54.86m. The newer pitch is aligned to provide best conditions for both players and the crowd. Both pitches will be resurfaced this year so the surfaces will be at their best during the 15 days that Olympic Hockey will be played at the complex. The complex has all the accessibility and environmental features of the other venues (wheelchair access, fully accessible toilets, tactile floor tiles, energy efficient lighting and natural ventilation).
