From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marrara Oval (also known as Football Park and commercially as TIO Stadium) is a sports ground in Darwin, Australia.
The ground was built in 1991 and Australian rules football is primarily played at the venue. This includes Northern Territory Football League matches, pre-season Australian Football League matches, and also one AFL Premiership match each year - a 'home' game for the Western Bulldogs. It also hosted two cricket Tests during the 2003-04 season.
The current total capacity is around 15,000 including 5,000 seats.
In 2007 the Western Bulldogs will play first-time visitors the Fremantle Dockers at the ground.
