Subiaco Oval is the major football stadium in Perth, Western Australia, located in the suburb of Subiaco, a few kilometres west of Perth's city centre. It is mainly used for Australian Football League matches, as it is the home ground for the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers football teams. "Subi" is also used for Western Australian Football League matches. The ground is not exclusively used for Australian Rules Football though, having hosted National Soccer League (Australia) grand finals, games in the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup, and sometimes, rock concerts.
The ground was first built in 1908, and the last redevelopment completed in 1999. In 2003, the retail telecommunications company Crazy John's controversially attempted to buy the naming rights to the ground, but the bid was denied by the local Subiaco council, which refused planning permission for advertising signs on the stadium's exterior.
Subiaco Oval's capacity is around 43,000 fully-seated.
