After The Olympics
The Olympic Stadium, now known as ANZ Stadium, continues to be of use as of 2012, though with a reduced capacity of 83,500. The stadium was re-configured after the games making it suitable for rectangular pitch and oval ground sports with the removal of the athletics track and the use of retractable seating. For sport, the stadium is used for regular season National Rugby League games and the NRL Grand Final. It also hosts State of Origin home games for the NSW Blues, and Rugby Union test matches involving the Wallabies. In a deal that currently runs from 2009 until 2015, the stadium will also host all home finals for the NSW Waratahs in the Super Rugby competition (the Waratah's normally play at the Sydney Football Stadium). It is also used for the Big Bash League Twenty20 cricket games. ANZ also plays host to various concerts.
The SuperDome, now known as Allphones Arena, continues to plays host to numerous concerts, award nights and sporting events as of 2012. It has hosted National Basketball League games, ANZ Championship netball and international netball games involving the Australian Netball Diamonds. In 2001 the arena played host to the Tennis Masters Cup. The arena also plays host to world championship boxing, Mixed martial arts (used as a venue by the UFC), and is usually the Sydney venue used on tours of Australia by the WWE.
Blacktown Olympic Park plays host to competitions for cricket, Australian Rules football, soccer, softball, and baseball, with the Australian Football League's GWS Giants based there (the GWS Giants, a new team for 2012, actually play at the ANZ Stadium and will move games to the Sydney Showground, though they are based at Blacktown OP). The GWS Giants new home base is also used in the AFL's pre-season NAB Cup competition.
Penrith Whitewater Stadium hosted the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships in 2005.
The Sydney Entertainment Centre, which opened in 1983, continues to be in use as of 2012, hosting numerous concerts and conventions. The SEC is also the home arena for the Sydney Kings in the National Basketball League, and occasionally plays host to both national senior basketball teams, the Boomers (men) and the Opels (women).
The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre continues to be of use as of 2012.
Sydney Football Stadium, which was an existing stadium that opened in 1988, continues to be in use as of 2012 by the NRL (including finals), A-League (including finals), and Super Rugby. The SFS also hosts various concerts, as well as other sporting events such as boxing.
The Homebush Street Circuit for the V8 Supercars has used the former Olympic precinct since 2009. The circuit was designed by former multiple Australian Touring Car Champion and Bathurst 1000 winner Mark Skaife.
