This aerial photo, taken in 1948, shows the home ground of the Borough Port Melbourne Football Club, North Port Oval. The oval hosts the team’s home game matches as well as semi-finals, preliminary finals and finals in the Victorian Football League (previously the Victorian Football Association). With a grass surface 150 metres by 125 metres, the venue’s capacity is 12 000. A popular venue throughout its history, the Victorian Football Association Division 1 Grand Final between Port Melbourne and Williamstown attracted the oval’s all time record crowd of 26 000 in September 1964.
