AFL @ Adelaide's Oval - That time is now.

[alex_is_on_fire]

They should have a two rows of statues of SA greats as you walk down to the eastern gates. F*** me it's the only acknowledgements SANFL footy history gets if we do it ourselves.....might even educate some of our own at the same time.
While I'm at it. The southern side of the ground should be dedicated to indigenous SA players as my understanding is that Pinky Flat was a significant area for aboriginals pre and post white settlement. I'll let others more informed correct me.

It was the original settlement for the Kaurna people of South Australia but its known as Tarndanyangga or Pinky Flat.

Need to get the food prices, but wow - $5 for water, $13.50 for spirits, $8.90 for ******* Hahn Super Dry... ouch

Bottle of water and a ham sandwich you made yourself anyone?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

All I can say is thank god for the good old-fashioned hip flask. Still the only way to have a drink at the footy without bankrupting yourself.

 

[hey shorty]

Thats ridiculous. Gonna need a payrise just for a couple bottles of water at the cricket in a couple weeks.

Waters stayed the same and soft drinks gone up 10 cents. Not the end of the world.

Had a 'start the car' moment when I went to the MCG and paid $3 for a bottle of water

Went earlier this year and was speaking to a number of people, they laughed hard when they heard how much we got ripped off.

 

[Justinpa1]

Do what most people do at the footy take your own water/soft drinks and bring a sandwich or two. Its not that hard, I only spent about $15 on Food for 12 AFL Games plus 4 T20 Cricket games and the World Cup Quarter Final this year.

 

[FR0GGY]

Boy would I ever like to unload on the sma!

 

[AFC3000]

The prices are very high, but I usually just bring something in from the 24/7 Convenience across the road with me and don't reeally constantly drink/eat while sitting so it doesn't effect me that much.

In isolation based on RRP the prices aren't too bad for one person, a dollar or two extra per item, but for families or when buying multiple items I would just give it a miss.

I guess the difference is when you go to a deli or service station etc you can always get 2 Iced Coffees for $6 or 2 chocolate bars for $3.50 or whatever they have on offer or supermarket specials. People aren't really used to paying full price anyway, and then to have the extra on top is a shock.

 

[Hank93]

You can bring a bottle from home and fill it up for free

 

[BrissyCrow]

I am assuming that there are conditions you need to meet to get drink into the oval. Up here at the Gabba the water bottle must be unopened or you cant take it in. What I find stupid about this rule is that if I had a thermos of coffee that was OK.

Smuggle water in your Thermos? That what us real Gangstas do.

The good thing about West Lakes were the supermarkets across the road (and the car park BBQs)

I've never had my water bottle checked. Security guy just pats my bag down. Could be anything in there!

I've had to throw away soft drink that I had opened but that was at the cricket.

It pays to be a local.

Pays a lot more.

 

[StonesThrow]

Regardless of the price, having only one beer option for 50,000 people is absolutely ridiculous when you think about it

Didn't they have James Squire on tap at one point?

Western stand has squires, including Porter.

I've only been in the Eastern Stand, pretty sure one of the bars on the ground level had the good stuff

 

[Rotayjay]

I find Hahn Super Dry pissy and bitter. Becks all the way

Don't tell me no more West End

 

[AmericanCrow]

Nice to see that the ridiculous "rules" and "security measures" thing is universal. Find it hilarious being asked to open my bag whilst wearing a winter coat that could smuggle in just about anything.

 

[StonesThrow]

Don't tell me no more West End

I haven't seen it. I've seen it at the cricket but not the footy.

I blame capitalism
