[edit] Australia
In Australia, the most important distinction regarding outdoor stadiums is the shape of their fields:
- Oval stadiums — Generally used for Cricket and Australian rules football. Can be used for rectangular-field sports, but seating arrangement is not necessarily optimal.
- Rectangular stadiums — Used for the rugby codes and soccer, and generally cannot be used for oval-field sports.
A few stadiums with oval fields have movable seating that can readily accommodate rectangular-field sports.
