Reviews of WACA Ground

  The pitch at the WACA is regarded as one of the quickest and bounciest in the world. These characteristics, in combination with the afternoon sea-breezes which regularly pass the ground (the Fremantle Doctor), have historically made the ground an attractive place for pace and swing bowlers. The outfield is exceptionally fast, contributing to the ground seeing some very fast scoring – as of February 2016, four of the nine fastest Test centuries have been scored at the WACA.[5]

  The WACA has been Western Australia's "home of cricket" since the early 1890s, with Test cricket played at the ground since the 1970–71 season.[3] The ground is the home venue of Western Australia's first-class cricket team, the Western Warriors, and a Women's National Cricket League side, the Western Fury. The Perth Scorchers, a Big Bash League franchise, also play at the ground, which is branded #TheFurnace for those matches.[4]

  Tragically nostalgic home of cricket in Perth. Outdated ad hoc seating. Too small. Rubbish food and beverage outlets. Staff do well with what they are given though. Overpriced everything. Drink tap water, bring your own lunch, wear the biggest hat you have and you should have a great day at the cricket.

  Optus Oval will be a lot more comfortable and have the necessary parking to suit the crowds.

  A piece of history now.. I was fortunate enough to be at the last day of the Ashes test on 14 Dec 2017 just opposite the scoreboard. A boutique ground that has history that sadly has outgrown the population due to it being land locked.

  Lack of shade a huge problem especially if the weather is going to be a very hot day. The grassed areas are not the place to be on the hot days. The Red Frog vollies handing out red frogs and sunscreen etc are wonderful.

  Throughout its history, the ground has also been used for a range of other sports, including athletics carnivals, Australian rules football, baseball, soccer, rugby league, rugby union, and international rules football. However, recent years have seen most of these activities relocated to other venues. It has also been used for major rock concerts.

  Nice ground, relaxing when watching Sheffield Shield. Only $5 to enter. Good for the kids to muck around on the hill.
