Valentine Sports Park / Bicentennial Park South
Melbourne (or Sydney - requires clarification), Australia
Formerly: Vodafone Arena (2000–2008), Hisense Arena (2008–2018), Melbourne Arena (2018–2020) — for John Cain Arena
The source material for this entry doesn't hold together enough to write from, and I don't want to paper over that with confident-sounding prose.
Valentine Sports Park and Bicentennial Park South are two separate football venues in different Sydney suburbs — they aren't the same stadium under two names. Meanwhile, the data card attached to them (address, capacity, opening date, former names) all belongs to John Cain Arena, a multi-purpose indoor venue in Melbourne, unrelated to either Sydney site. There's no football club, tenant, or match history given for any of the three.
Writing a stadium profile out of this would mean stitching Melbourne's arena history onto a Sydney venue's name, which is exactly the kind of unverified merge an archivist shouldn't let through.
Before I write anything, could you confirm which venue this entry is actually for:
- **Valentine Sports Park** (Sydney) — or - **Bicentennial Park South** (Sydney) — or - **John Cain Arena** (Melbourne) — the one the capacity/address/opening-date facts actually describe
Once I know which one, I can pull the right facts and write the piece properly.
