Good intent, but with AFL, the Oval stadiums are all Multipurpose. The big city grounds all host cricket & AFL. It's misleading to call them Dedicated Ovals - as they are definitely multipurpose.

So no different to how Eden Park operates with cricket & rugby. Except of course now no 5 day wearing of cricket whites in Mt Eden.

The MCG (too many to count), Perth Stadium (Eagles & Freemantle), Adelaide Oval (Port & Crows), SCG (Swans) & Gabba (Lions) all have AFL clubs as tenants. So the whole stadium financial model is sooo much stronger.
