==== Additional facilities ====

St Kilda's primary administrative and training base from late 2010 until 2018 was the Linen House Centre at Belvedere Park in Seaford.<ref name=March/> The creation of the base came about due to disagreements between St Kilda and the City of Kingston's council regarding proposed upgrades to their Moorabbin facilities, which included the implementation of 80 poker machines.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wilson |first1=Caroline |title=The Saints' troubled home life |url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-saints-troubled-home-life-20120511-1yide.html |website=The Age |access-date=29 June 2021 |language=en |date=2012-05-11}}</ref> The club subsequently negotiated a deal with the neighbouring City of Frankston to develop Frankston Park into its new training base. However, when proposed costs blew out by $5 million, a new agreement was formed between the two entities.<ref>{{cite news |title=St Kilda to move base to Seaford |url=https://amp.heraldsun.com.au/sport/saints-move-to-seaford/news-story/26bed379ab78758e7cbd9dadfd8b6d87 |access-date=22 October 2021 |work=amp.heraldsun.com.au |date=17 September 2008}}</ref> In this new deal, the club would develop Belvedere Park in conjunction with the Frankston City Council, the Victorian state government and the AFL. The cost of developing the facilities was valued at approximately $11 million.<ref name=Development/> The centre received its name as part of a naming rights sponsorship deal with Linen House.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Connolly |first1=Eoin |title=Linen House in new naming rights deal with St Kilda |url=https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/linen_house_in_new_naming_rights_deal_with_st_kilda/#:~:text=SHARE%20THIS%20ARTICLE-,Australian%20Football%20League%20team%20St%20Kilda%20has%20signed%20Linen%20House,which%20began%2017%20years%20ago. |work=SportsPro |date=22 March 2010 |access-date=22 October 2021}}</ref>

The club signed a lease on the facility until 2059. The club, however, chose to relocate back to Moorabbin Oval as its primary administrative and training base by 2018. As a result, in December 2020, St Kilda made a proposal to the Frankston City Council to repurpose the facility as a centre to be used by the wider Frankston community.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cowburn |first1=Brodie |title=St Kilda plans for Seaford future |url=http://baysidenews.com.au/2021/03/01/st-kilda-plans-for-seaford-future/#:~:text=FRANKSTON%20Council%20has%20given%20St,facilities%20to%20Moorabbin%20by%202018. |access-date=22 October 2021 |work=Bayside News |date=1 March 2021 |language=en-AU}}</ref>
