The stadium's open southern end allows for a unique view of the Brisbane Water estuary.
The pitch is one of the few in the A-League to be positioned in a north-south orientation.
The stadium was originally built on the site of the former Grahame Park rugby field.
The venue has served as a filming location for television commercials and sports-themed media.
The facility was rebranded as Industree Group Stadium following a multi-year naming rights agreement starting in 2023.
Polytec Stadium, widely known as Industree Group Stadium, is a rectangular multi-purpose sports venue located on the waterfront of Brisbane Water in Gosford. It serves as the primary home ground for the Central Coast Mariners of the A-League Men. The stadium is architecturally distinguished by its open southern end, which offers views of the surrounding bay rather than a permanent grandstand. With a capacity of approximately 20,000 spectators, it frequently hosts professional football matches, rugby league fixtures, and major outdoor music concerts. The facility is situated within Grahame Park, a public recreational space in the heart of the Gosford CBD.
