Adelaide Oval Dimensions

[WaynesWorld19]

I've looked everywhere ....even on the Adelaide oval site that has everything, but the answer to my question.

What will be the new oval dimensions (not fence to fence) of the Adelaide oval development

Football park was developed with the view of matching as close as possible the MCG ....where the GF is played

Adelaide oval currently has weird dimensions and i am hoping they are planning to alter the playing dimensions so it doesn't become an issue down the track

Current Adelaide Oval dimensions are 190 x 125 fence to fence ....taking off 10mtrs at the ends and 6mtrs off each side for the playing dimension ....we're left with

Adelaide Oval: 170 x 113
Football Park: 165 x 133
MCG: 160 x 141
Etihad: 159.5 x 128.8

still seems very narrow and i haven't been able to find the new dimension?? .....can anyone help?

Wouldn't have a clue, but bloody hell that is narrow!

Kardinia Park is 170 x 115.

Yes but don't we prefer an oval where you actually need wingmen ......after all the initial thinking behind the dimensions of Football Park IMO was valid

 

[rayven]

Check threw old news reports about this? I rekon i saw it somewhere?

I only bring it up because KP doesn't seem that narrow to me. And yes, a ground the size of the MCG probably should be the aim.

I've searched endlessly with no outcome ....the only dimensions talked about are the existing ones?

good pick up ww - we want to widen this oval as much as we can to get it as close to MCG size as possible.

 

[Crows4Eva]

I was literally thinking about this yesterday. Considering that we're used to playing at AAMI you'd think we'd want AO to be similar in size so we have minimal 'getting used to a new home ground' problems in the first couple of seasons.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'm sure it's being made wider.

 

[Cap]

it is.

sadly, whilst Footy Park is obsolete, I don't think we'll ever see such a superb football oval in the state again (well in the AFL)

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will Adelaide Oval have red behind posts?

I don't mind the red posts.....

but I'm struggling to find any info on the actual dimensions - near map photos don't really show much work around the edges either..

on Wikipedia (I know not the most reliable but..) it has Adelaide Oval as 190 x 125?

I reckon one side got done when they did the member's stand. The other side was still that flat, long boundary.

They were going to do the outer side when they did the full redevelopment.

 

[Cap]

yeah it did, the Western side got widened removing the old running track finish line.

I'm going to have to call the AO now to find out, really bugging me.

 

[Cap]

I've found a reference that the oval is now 132m wide but I can't find any verification

That's the current fence to fence dimensions .....fence to fence because it's a cricket ground

I am looking for the new dimensions??

Yeah it's been stuck in my claw for a few days

You would think it would have been addressed on the Adelaide Oval development website .....tells us how great everything is going, how safe ....but importantly nothing about the bloody dimensions

Playing dimensions for adelaide oval before the bradman/chappel demolition was 169mx129m. I found this on the Adelaide Strikers website.

http://www.adelaidestrikers.com.au/team/adelaide-oval

No idea what it will be in 2014 though. Thats bloody hard to find!

I know right

don't worry about the detail!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I've found a reference that the oval is now 132m wide but I can't find any verification

But is that fence to fence dimensions or playing dimensions

The current dimension in Wikipedia is 125 W but that's fence to fence

Yeah that is the "playing area" which is set in from the fence dimensions of 190 x 125 ....so that makes sense

But it appears we may end up with a Skilled Stadium type oval with no wings ......IMO this would be a HUGE mistake as we need to develop game styles based on playing on MCG ....so the oval needs to be MCG like dimensions

I'm sure I read somewhere that the new dimensions would be similar to the MCG.
