Hobart Stadium Approved for Tasmanian Devils AFL Team

Tasmania’s parliament has approved a new AFL stadium for the Devils AFL and AFLW team, costing $1.13 billion and seating 23,000 fans, set to open in 2028. The decision followed two days of debate and narrowly passed amid concerns over the state’s financial capacity. Premier Jeremy Rockliff and AFL CEO Andrew Dillon hailed the approval as a historic milestone for Tasmanian football. The project reflects growing support for the Devils since their establishment in May 2023.
