MacPherson Park in Melton will host Ballarat Football League finals for the first time this year.
The league announced last week that the first of their three finals series would start on August 14, with the senior men’s football and the netball grand finals to be the season finale on September 17.
Mars Stadium in Ballarat will host the BFL women’s grand final on September 3, before the junior football and netball finals held on September 10 and the senior grand finals the following week.
Seven venues will be used for finals including MacPherson Park. The Melton-based ground has had significant upgrades since the last BFL finals in 2019.
A senior qualifying final will be held in week one of the finals series at MacPherson park, before a semi final the following week.
Melton, which is based at Macpherson Park, is currently on top of the ladder in both the seniors and reserves football.
The rest of the finals will be held at Ballarat grounds. Darley Park has traditionally been used as a finals venue, but upgrades are ongoing at that ground.
All finals series will be held over four weeks.
Across all the finals series there will be 189 games of finals. The league is expecting in excess of 50,000 fans attending the finals.
