Yeah - it's a bit pricy but well worth it. Seats are amazing, when dry.

Do they make you wear a collar, a top-hat, and a cane?

I've been in there twice and it seriously is not worth the money. It's ludicrous. The people one row in the front of the line of demarcation have the same view and they are financially secure and aren't paying $18 fir a burger and chips. Altho' it was pretty good. Still, you can laugh at everyone in the Western Stand with their substandard facilities.

There are people in those seats eating burgers and chips who do not need to be eating burgers and chips.

I gave up buying food at the footy years ago.

I went to the Crows vs Saints game at the dome a few months back. Went and purchased 3 diet cokes and 3 cherry ripes - the price was $29.95.

I just looked at the young guy and said no. This is a rip off and walked off.

But I could not go back to my old seats at AAMI Stadium, I would just cry now.

This is true. Maybe that's why they make them pay for it.

No same here. My partner hates the Western Stand tho' she doesn't get why there are no toilets. It's much better on the football side of the ground.

Was not interested in being a member at AAMI or now the AO.

I prefer my seat up in the Eastern stand, the facilities are better the people aroud you are better, the only downside is the sun at certain times - but I don't get wet.

Yeah, that sun can be very annoying.

If there is a criticism on the build that is it. Why you would build such a small Members stand to not block that out, like any other stadium in th world. is baffling. The Western Stand should be the same size as the Riverbank Stand. The sun arcs from over our right shoulder around so it isn't as bad as it could be at least.

I guess I'm a bit lower than you are. Hence why I get wet and the sun shines straight into the corner of my right eye.

Because the western stand was built larger than the eastern stand that was in place at the time? You recall the Chappell stands?

It was purpose built to hold the SACA members at the cricket, football and all of its needs came after.

I don't buy a lot at the footy. Don't really see the need but those hotdogs with the bacon/cheese and sauces are pretty good haha big improvement over AAMI anyway. $7 I think? That's not bad.

Holy shit, you serious?

That's horrible.

Food is included on The Deck, and if you go in one of the SACA Committee rooms, $120/game, you get a 3 course meal and drinks for the entire game!

don't get me started on etihad prices....

the place doesn't allow outside food to be brought in, and at the essendon game, my daughter had a sealed unopened bottle of water confiscated from her because the label had peeled off inside her bag. bunch of ****ers IMO

They are a campaigners.

FANS at Adelaide Oval will be able to connect to mobile networks far more easily with Telstra investing $7 million to upgrade digital infrastructure at the stadium.

Digital coverage will evolve to include better wi-fi and the ability of fans to order food and drinks via the Adelaide Oval app.

Gday,

Was hoping someone here can give me their opinion on the General Admission Hill.

I have bought a couple of tix for the Crows / WCE game coming up which we are looking forward to.
Any time we have attended Adel Oval, we have sat up high in the Southern stand.

I was keen to watch a match from the old hill and have bought 3 GA's but now I am bit concerned about taking my 8 year old son.

Does it get overly 'rowdy' in that area?

Will he have any issue actually seeing the game, as it is standing only?

(Probably should have asked these questions before hey?!)

Thanks, keen to hear your opinions.
