AFL stadium nicknames

[Matchu]

What nicknames can you think of for AFL stadiums? Explain the background if it isn't obvious. I've got a few.

MCG - The G
Docklands Stadium - The Dome
Kardinia Park - The Cattery
Brisbane Cricket Ground - The 'Gabba (does this count?)

And I guess we can include the stadium in Wellington now. It's not hard to see why they call it 'The Cake Tin':

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Doesn't matter what they name Subiaco Oval, everybody will always call it 'Subi'.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

That is one ugly stadium

 

[Pusswah]

Yeah but we're getting a new one soon

Bellerive Oval, now its sponsored name is Blundstone Oval, rather obviously called 'Boot Park'

Adelaide Oval was "The Portress" until Essendon played there

 

[Procrastinator35]

A couple of former venues:

Windy Hill....'Essendon Bowls Club"

Vizy Park....'The Brotherhood of Saint Lawrence Bin'

As long as they don't go the NBL route of just giving it a nickname to go with the club's nickname: the nest, the wharf, the den, the furnace...that sort of shit.

Like the cattery?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Yep. 'The Meter Box' wouldn't be without its charm though.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Like the cattery?

Not a huge fan...but not really what I was getting at. More like if they called it The Litter Tray, or something.

Arctic Park, fellas.

 

[Engimal]

I've often heard York Park been referred to as "oi there's no security here, lets just jump the fence, **** it".
