History

The stadium over the years has been used for soccer. In 2007 it was used for rugby league with the Seven Hills Demons using the ground while playing in the Ron Massey Cup.

The venue has been originally known as Gabbie Stadium until recent naming rights deals with Fairfax Community Newspapers in 2007 settled on the name of Fairfax Community Stadium.[3] In 2009 it was renamed Lily Homes Stadium.[4] In 2014 it was renamed Lily's Football Centre.[5]
