Line 30:
The foundations for the K.G. Luke stand were laid in [[1969]] and more than 20 km of solid concrete terracing was laid around the ground.
Finally, on [[April 18]], [[1970]], [[Fitzroy Football Club|Fitzroy]] and [[Geelong Football Club|Geelong]] played the first game at Waverley Park. However, the stand was far from completed. In fact, the only section of the actual grandstand that was built was the first level of the K.G. Luke stand. the rest of the stadium had only been completed on the ground level. This said, because the size of the ground and the fact that the playing surface was levelled at a depth of 10 metres, this was not such a hassle. The Public Reserve Stands encircling the rest of the stadium were finished at a cost of $4.5 million in [[1974]] and the car parking was extended to fit a total of 25,000 cars. Lighting was added in May [[1977]] at a cost of $1.2 million.
