Melbourne Aces
The main arena is the home ground of Australian Baseball League side the Melbourne Aces from the 2010-11 season. $300,000 was spent to transform the ground to a baseball arena giving the Showgrounds its first sporting tenant. The Showgrounds was notorious for being a batter-friendly park with its short fences. In 20 games at the ground, 96 home runs were hit, accounting for over 42% of the leagues total home-runs and well above the rest of the leagues ballparks average of 26 home runs for the season.
