[2] The ground is regularly used for local Grade competition cricket in the summer, and Australian rules football in the winter.

[7] The ground's opening in 1882 featured a match between the TCA and a visiting Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) XI.

A roofed section at the southern end, built in 1951 to protect spectators from harsh weather, was removed in 2010 due to asbestos concerns.

In a reversal of the previous season's result, Tasmania caused a major upset to win their first-ever domestic title by beating Western Australia by 47 runs.

[15] The last state-level cricket match at the TCA Ground took place on 15 March 1987, when Tasmania faced South Australia in the McDonald's Cup final.

A "Japanese Sports Day" was declared, drawing a large crowd to witness competitions in martial arts, kendo, and sumo wrestling.

Visible remnants of that era include the dog kennelling quarters at the north of the ground (now home to the Hobart City Band), and a covered standing book-makers area which was removed in 2010 due to asbestos.

Only two out of the nine aldermen present voted in favour of the application, with those against concerned about heritage, light spill, the effects on Glebe residents and visibility from as far as Knocklofty Reserve.

[28] The TCA Ground is owned by the Hobart City Council, which has played a significant role in its maintenance and development.

Despite being a key sports venue for Hobart, the ground has not been considered for major future developments, such as becoming the home of the Tasmania Devils AFL team.

This decision is largely due to several factors, including the ground's limited seating capacity (8,000) and its heritage-listed structures, which restrict expansion options.

The Macquarie Point site offers better opportunities for large-scale development, proximity to the Hobart waterfront, and the potential to attract more investment into a modern sports and entertainment complex.

The Hobart City Council has supported this decision, citing that redeveloping the TCA Ground to meet AFL standards would not be financially viable or feasible given its current infrastructure and location within the Queens Domain parklands.

Its historic significance and continued use by local cricket and football clubs ensure that it will remain a fixture in Hobart's sporting landscape.

Here are the attendance figures for key events: One-Day Internationals (ODI): (1) West Indies defeated Sri Lanka by 8 wickets 10 January 1985[37] Domestic one-day: (12) First-class: (87) (12 Sheffield Shield matches) NB: Figures within brackets denote Sheffield Shield matches.

The TCA Ground's elevated location on the Domain offers panoramic views of the River Derwent and Mount Wellington.

The Domain itself is a large public park with walking and cycling tracks, sports fields, and various recreational facilities, making the TCA Ground a prominent fixture in this green space.
