Yep I went over a few years back for a Showdown and stood on the hill. Fantastic, needs to stay
Yeah it's a joke. Just typical Adelaide and Australian ways. It's just flat out dumb really. Get the fans on your side and they spend more. Not hard to work out.

The only people wanting change have never been to Adelaide Oval.
And we can't have both because?No. If you want grass and nostalgia then attend the SANFL and the WAFL etc.
No. If you want grass and nostalgia then attend the SANFL and the WAFL etc.
If the AFL GF was held there they would probably build a temporary stand just like they did pre 1974 SANFL GF's played at AO but that was along the eastern wing. They would do that if Oz ever hosted a FIFA World Cup.
The legislation allows for temporary change but not a permanent change. Even if the government of the day pushed for it, the upper house would probably never allow it over the next 40 or 50 years. Think you have to go back to the early 1970's that the government of the day has had a majority in the upper house. Given the lease is for 80 years things won't permanently change before about 2060.

The SA Cricket Association.The City of Adelaide owns the land? Who leased the land b4 2011?
I am sure you can help.
All we need is another Lego land, cutout stadium like Perth stadium,
And we can't have both because?
Nostalgia - great if you're talking about returning the drop kick.
Grass - I much prefer the setup at Perth Stadium for viewing, comfort and facilities.
Grassed areas just advertise the fact that a sport cannot pull the fans in through the gate.
and your posts advertise that you haven't been to Adelaide Oval
so you haven't been to Adelaide Oval
Or advertise the fact that - especially for day-long sessions of cricket - not everyone wants or needs to be in a plastic bucket seat in a granstand.Nostalgia - great if you're talking about returning the drop kick.

I bolded the word that covers keeping the hill.1. Day long cricket matches aren't popular anymore and could/should be played on a cricket oval.
2. When the decision was made to share football/cricket you have to expect compromise.
The WACA wanted NO part in the new Perth Stadium and it was built without cricket in mind.
There was the option to build a new oval in Adelaide for football but it was declined.
