The nickname Gabba derives from the suburb of [[Woolloongabba]], in which it is located. Over the years, the Gabba has hosted [[Track and field athletics|athletics]], [[Australian rules football]], [[baseball]], [[concert]]s, [[cricket]], [[Track cycling|cycling]], [[rugby league]], [[rugby union]], [[Association football]] and [[Pony racing|pony]] and [[Greyhound racing in Australia|greyhound racing]]. At present, it serves as the home ground for the [[Queensland cricket team|Queensland Bulls]] in domestic cricket, the [[Brisbane Heat]] of the [[Big Bash League]] and [[Women's Big Bash League]], and the [[Brisbane Lions]] of the [[Australian Football League]].

Between 1993 and 2005, the Gabba was redeveloped in six stages at a cost of [[Australian dollar|A$]]128,000,000. The dimensions of the [[playing field]] are now {{convert|170.6|m|abbr=off}} (east-west) by {{convert|149.9|m|abbr=off}} (north-south), to accommodate the playing of Australian rules football at elite level.

==History==
===Foundation===
[[File:StateLibQld 1 15078 Woolloongabba Cricket Ground, 1899.jpg|thumb|left|The Gabba in 1899]]
The land on which the ground sits was set aside for use as a [[Cricket field|cricket ground]] in 1895 and the first match was held on the site on 19 December 1896, between Parliament and The Press. Prior to this, cricket was played at a ground in the area then known as Green Hills (beside Countess Street [[Petrie Terrace]] opposite the [[Victoria Barracks, Brisbane|Victoria Barracks]] – now occupied by the [[Northern Busway, Brisbane|Northern Busway]]),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.brisbanehistory.com/Pictorial_Brisbane_1860-1875.html |title=Pictorial Brisbane 1860 – 1875 |publisher=Brisbanehistory.com |access-date=19 July 2012 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627042154/http://www.brisbanehistory.com/Pictorial_Brisbane_1860-1875.html |archive-date=27 June 2012  }}</ref> since at least the early 1860s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/2/3363.html|title=The Home of CricketArchive|website=cricketarchive.com|access-date=21 March 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201042346/https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/2/3363.html|archive-date=1 December 2017}}</ref>
[[File:Aerial photograph of Cricket match at Brisbane Cricket Ground at Woolloongabba (The Gabba), 5 December 1936.jpg|left|thumb|Cricket match, 1936]]
Greyhound racing meetings were held during 1928 at the ground.<ref name="Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club">{{cite web|url=https://www.brisgreys.com/club-info/club-history/|title=THE HISTORY OF THE GABBA GREYHOUND RACING CLUB|publisher=Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club|access-date=4 March 2021|archive-date=19 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210119061121/https://www.brisgreys.com/club-info/club-history/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Gabba shared first-class cricket matches with the [[Brisbane Exhibition Ground|Exhibition Ground]] until 1931. The first [[Sheffield Shield]] match at the Gabba was scheduled to be played between 31 January 1931 and 4 February 1931, but it was washed out without a ball being bowled. The first [[Test cricket|Test match]] at the Gabba was played between [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] between 27 November and 3 December 1931.

In 1972, a greyhound track was installed at The Gabba with night meetings held weekly at the ground for 21 years.<ref name="Just Racing">{{cite web| title =The history of the Gabba Greyhound Racing Club| publisher =Just Racing| url =http://www.justracing.com.au/features.php?news_page=1&artid=1614&catid=100| format =Web article| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20080718220024/http://www.justracing.com.au/features.php?news_page=1&artid=1614&catid=100| archive-date =18 July 2008| df =dmy-all}}</ref>

===Expansion===
From February 1993, work commenced on turning The Gabba into an all-seater stadium. The last greyhound meeting was held at The Gabba on 5 February 1993, with work commencing shortly after to remove the greyhound track around the ground to accommodate the relocation of the [[Brisbane Bears]] from Carrara (on the Gold Coast) to The Gabba, renovating the Sir Gordon Chalk Building to house the Bears Social Club and change rooms, refurbishing the Clem Jones stand (named for the long-standing Mayor of Brisbane, [[Clem Jones]]), the construction of a new Western grandstand, and extending the playing surface to cater for [[Australian rules football]].The work was largely completed by 11 April when the Bears hosted their first AFL game at the renovated venue against [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] in front of 12,821 spectators.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lions.com.au/news/549183/from-carrara-to-the-gabba|title=From Carrara to the Gabba|website=lions.com.au|date=29 December 2019 |access-date=27 October 2020|archive-date=30 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201030233818/https://www.lions.com.au/news/549183/from-carrara-to-the-gabba|url-status=live}}</ref>

Subsequent further renovations at the ground commencing in 1995 saw the current two tier stands constructed in stages with the last stage completed in 2005 when the Brisbane Lions Social Club (formerly the Brisbane Bears Social Club) was demolished and replaced with a 24 bay grandstand spread over 3 levels of seating with the entire redevelopment costing $AU128 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.austadiums.com/stadiums/stadiums.php?id=52|title=Gabba (Brisbane Cricket Ground) – Austadiums|website=www.austadiums.com|access-date=16 June 2020|archive-date=17 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170617110824/http://www.austadiums.com/stadiums/stadiums.php?id=52|url-status=live}}</ref> Also as part of the redevelopment, five light towers were installed to allow for night football and cricket matches to take place, a light tower at the school end was removed in the late 90s to make way for the expanded grandstands. 

The development also resulted in the grandstand structure overhanging [[Vulture Street, Brisbane|Vulture]] and [[Stanley Street, Brisbane|Stanley]] streets which tightly constrain the stadium to the north and the south,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Stoter |first=Jantien |date=2004 |title=Conceptual 3D Cadastral Model Applied in Several Countries |url=https://www.fig.net/resources/proceedings/fig_proceedings/athens/papers/ts25/ts25_1_stoter_et_al.pdf |journal=Proceedings of the FIG working week 2004 : The Olympic spirit in surveying : Athens, Greece May 22-27, 2004. 27 p. |via=International Federation of Surveyors (FIG)}}</ref><ref name=":9">{{Cite web |title=Gabba redevelopment - Brisbane Olympic Stadium - alternative location {{!}} Skewed |url=https://www.skewed.com.au/insights/gabba-redevelopment-brisbane-olympic-stadium-alternative-location |access-date=2025-10-27 |website=www.skewed.com.au |language=en}}</ref> as well as overhanging the [[East Brisbane State School]] in the east.<ref name=":9" /> This overhang complicated redevelopment plans and led to speculation that the streets would need to become tunnels in order to facilitate a larger stadium above.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Moore |first=Tony |date=2022-09-28 |title=Lord Mayor ramps up pressure on premier to set up Olympic infrastructure body |url=https://www.smh.com.au/politics/queensland/lord-mayor-ramps-up-pressure-on-premier-to-set-up-olympic-infrastructure-body-20220928-p5blj5.html |access-date=2025-10-27 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}</ref>

The Gabba's amenities were greatly improved in the 1980s from a very basic standard, especially in comparison with other Australian cricket grounds. [[Test cricket]] was first played at the ground in November 1931, when the first test of the series between [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] and [[South African cricket team|South Africa]] was held there. In December 1960, Cricket's first-ever [[tied test]] took place at the ground, when [[Richie Benaud]]'s Australian team tied with [[Frank Worrell]]'s [[West Indian cricket team|West Indian]] side.<ref>{{Cite web |title=AUS vs WI Cricket Scorecard, 1st Test at Brisbane, December 09 - 14, 1960 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-tour-of-australia-1960-61-61907/australia-vs-west-indies-1st-test-62888/full-scorecard |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en |archive-date=14 May 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040514020643/http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1960S/1960-61/WI_IN_AUS/WI_AUS_T1_09-14DEC1960.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Queensland clinched its first-ever Sheffield Shield title with victory over [[Southern Redbacks|South Australia]] in the final at the ground in March 1995.<ref>{{Cite web |title=QLD vs SOA Cricket Scorecard, Final at Brisbane, March 24 - 28, 1995 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sheffield-shield-1994-95-325299/queensland-vs-south-australia-final-325388/full-scorecard |access-date=2024-06-09 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en |archive-date=9 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240609125859/https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sheffield-shield-1994-95-325299/queensland-vs-south-australia-final-325388/full-scorecard |url-status=live }}</ref>
