The primary focus of Carlton's master plan for Princes Park isn't restoring it as a home-and-away venue, rather it's what the precinct as a whole should look like.

The Blues are open to the ground now known as Ikon Park again being an official AFL venue - a move supporters showed they wanted when almost 19,000 attended the NAB Challenge clash on Sunday in which the Bombers prevailed by 10 goals.

However, early indications are there appears more chance the ground will become an elite training venue and even a community hub, with the Blues' women's team hosting matches there if they are successful in gaining a licence for the new women's league.

The Blues want the ground to remain the AFL team's training venue, and have all but ruled out shifting in the manner Hawthorn did from Glenferrie to Waverley, and will soon again do to Dingley.
