Western Sydney Stadium, currently known as CommBank Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is a multi-purpose rectangular stadium in Parramatta, a satellite city approximately 24 km (15 mi) west of Sydney CBD. It replaced the demolished Parramatta Stadium (1986) which in turn was built on the site of the old Cumberland Oval, home ground to the Parramatta Eels since 1947. The current stadium opened in April 2019 and has a 30,000-seat capacity. The stadium is owned by the NSW Government and built at a cost of $300 million.[2][3] The stadium hosts games across the major rectangular field sports in Sydney.
The primary uses of the stadium are to host rugby league, association football, rugby union as well as concerts and special events. The foundation teams are National Rugby League club Parramatta Eels and A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers. Other tenants include NRL team Wests Tigers. Some clubs, such as Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs also play their home matches there occasionally in addition to playing at Stadium Australia.
