The club's on field record on the field and the Super League war forced the club to sell the stadium and fold the team after the 1995 season.
The stadium's capacity was close to 13,500. The record attendance was 13,423 for a match between the Giants and the Broncos on 8 May 1988.
The newly named Gold Coast Chargers relocated to Carrara Stadium for the 1996 season. They played at the stadium for three years.
