Home to the original Richmond club and its successors, but also to Melbourne during World War II when the MCG was occupied by the armed forces.
In 1955 there was suggestion that the Tigers would abandon the ground for the MCG due to the ground losing 14 feet because of the widening of Punt Road. Instead, Melbourne ended up playing the start of the 1956 season at Punt Road due to the MCG being prepared for the Olympics.
The road-widening plan was again raised before the 1958 season, but Richmond stayed at the ground until 1965 when they switched to the MCG.
Reserves matches were played at the ground in the 1990s. Richmonds VFL used it as their home ground from 2014, and their AFLW side did likewise on entry to the competition.
