The ground
St Kilda's ground dates from 1856 and reopened in 2018 after a $40 million rebuild as Cricket Victoria's headquarters and Sheffield Shield home.
The Stars played their first men's Big Bash match here in January 2022, and light towers were installed in 2026, so night games are new to the ground.
