History
The stadium was built in 1960 and currently has a nominal capacity of 22,000.
The Cronulla-Sutherland Rugby League Club own the stadium and Leagues Club next door, the only club in theNRL to own their own stadium (local councils are the usual owners of sporting venues).
On 21 April 2006, the Federal Government announced a A$9.6 million grant will be given to the Cronulla Sharks to upgrade Toyota Park. The upgrade to Toyota Stadium included a new covered stand to seat over 1,500 spectators at the southern end. The new stand was completed in time for the 2008 season.
Renovations are also planned for the ET Stand and the Peter Burns Stand. Facilities planned for the Leagues Club include a new swimming pool and a gym.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“It is my conviction that women are the natural orators of the race.”
—Eliza Archard Connor, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 9, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
