Bellerive Oval

Bellerive Oval holds twenty thousand people when packed to capacity. That crowd figure makes it a major venue in Tasmania. The ground sits in the Hobart suburb of Bellerive in Australia. Groundbreaking took place in nineteen thirteen and the facility opened the following year in nineteen fourteen.
