Squiggle tips Lions at 64% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Curious, is the hill heritage listed? If not how long until they turn it into a 70,000 seat stadium, with both clubs having the membership numbers to fill it already.
Is there a 3rd set of change rooms for visiting sides, or do the away team use the non playing SA clubs rooms?
Real GF feel today watching it on the TV.
Looks like a world class venue, and being in the heart of the city, good times ahead for both cricket and footy in Adelaide.
Just thinking, should Adelaide Oval get a louder siren? I for one could barely hear it at 3/4 time as the crowd was that loud.
If some couldn't hear it, isn't it plausible that we get another "Sirengate" situation? Therefore, shouldn't we fix it before everything goes to s**t?
AAMI's was the same.... But they put it over the speakers so it emanated around the ground.I was thinking that too. Sounds similar to the ones most of the new/redeveloped grounds have these days (Metricon, Spotless, Simonds), and from memory the one at Metricon is very quiet too. They either need to turn up the volume, or grab the one from AAMI.

Ever notice the slight delay when it went from soft to loud?
it kinda went brrr....BRRRRRRRRR. That was the .5 seconds for it to go over speakers.

Those that follow the blindly follow the path set for them by those that supposedly know best without giving it to much thought , its ok for the priveledged to motor straight up to the grandstand , but we cant all do it so id better catch public transport as that's whats been planned for us lesser folk.
PA system was really soft, could hardly hear the pre game stuff and yeah siren was almost non existent. .. I was on the hill so prob didn't helpThe siren was going through the PA system on Saturday as well.
i think port4556 is expecting a stadium like that fox sports promo that had people arriving into the spot in the stadium in their pods.
Yes that's true , and 85% of people that go into the city think the same way it appears , about 15% use public transport , those that have no choice in the main .
Loved the ground. Spectacular inside and from the outside and the atmosphere it creates was electric. Only one problem though and that was the congestion leaving the game. We left after the presentations from the western stand. Getting out of the actual stadium wasn't too bad, but once you got onto the southern plaza to try and get onto the footbridge it was gridlock. We were barely moving at all for about 25 minutes until we got onto the bridge. Will be walking up king William for packed games in the future unfortunately.
Problem also lies with North Adelaide's council and the fact that people can't park there on game day, so are avoiding the area and heading back to the city. With 90%+ of the 50k heading in the one direction a wider bridge wouldn't make a great difference.Had the same problem during the cricket - albeit with limited exits out of the ground that day.
Shame they didn't make the bridge wider, I used Adelaide Bridge as well.
The sound system is excellent in the southern and western stands and presumably the eastern stand. Agree with you about the siren though. I said to my mate that if this is a close game and the crowd's loud as the siren goes they're going to have trouble hearing it and we could witness York Park 2.0PA system was really soft, could hardly hear the pre game stuff and yeah siren was almost non existent. ..
