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:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
