[h=1]History[/h]
Canberra Stadium, formerly Bruce Stadium, is home to the Brumbies in the Super Rugby competition and is located within the AIS sports precinct.
The stadium was first built in 1977 to hold the Pacific Conference Games and was configured in an oval shape that accommodated an athletics track with one undercover granstand on the western side.
The Brumbies first ever home game in Super Rugby was on Tuesday March 5 1996 against Transvaal, where they won 13-9.[FOOTNOTE]http://www.lassen.co.nz/s14mat.php?year=1996&round=1#hrh[/FOOTNOTE]
Canberra Stadium was selected as a venue to host Olympic soccer matches in 2000, and in 1997 redevelopment of the stadium began to cater for these events. This resulted in the stadium being made an all-seater stadium to include an undercover stand on the eastern side and the permanent seating capacity increased to 25,011. Temporary seating has been used to increase capacity for high profile events, such as the 2 Super 12 Rugby finals that were held in 2001 and 2004. The record attendance for the stadium was 28,753[FOOTNOTE]http://www.austadiums.com/stadiums/stadiums.php?id=28[/FOOTNOTE] which occured at the 2004 Super 12 Final.
The undercover grandstands at Canberra Stadium are named after local famous sportspersons - The Mal Meninga (western stand) named after the Canberra Raiders Rugby League player and the Gregan/Larkham (eastern stand) named after the famous Brumbies halves pairing of George Gregan and Stephen Larkham.
Canberra Stadium was famous for an NRL game in 2000 between the Canberra Raiders and Wests Tigers that was played in the snow.
