well from my research 'Stadium Australia' and 'Sydney Soccer Stadium' kept coming up as the same place....so the two ID's reflect that.

Stadium Australia is the big 80000 seater which is now called Telstra Stadium, most of Australia's home games will probably be played there. The Sydney Football Stadium holds about 40000 and is now called Aussie Stadium, that's where Sydney FC play.
Stupid I know but they'll sell the rights to anything these days. Stadium Australia pretty much had the nickname 'Aussie Stadium' then sold the naming rights to Telstra. So then SFS sold their naming rights to Aussie Home Loans and the clown that owns AHL decided on Aussie Stadium.
Some locals have actually been caught out by this.
