In May 2020, the Albury Sports Ground hosted the Melbourne Storm for a pre-season training capacity in preparation for recommencing the delayed 2020 NRL Season.

On 28 February 2014 the Border Mail published an article titled "Lavington Oval 'in the wrong spot' for major events"[3] in which Andrew Boyd Barber (a University of Melbourne post-graduate urban design student) said: "Albury Council should start planning for an upgraded sportsground precinct."

Mr Boyd Barber said Lavington Oval contained the same elements as Waverley, in that it had simply become nonviable to have a huge stadium in such a residential location.

On 9 March 2016 the Border Mail published an article titled "Urban designer promotes plan to link new Albury aquatics centre with upgraded sportsground".

It was also the venue for the rugby league tour game in 1951 where a team of virtual unknowns representing Riverina upset France, who at the time were possibly the best test nation in the world.
