Went to the first session today to get a feel for the ground. I never thought I would see such a cauldron in sleepy old Adelaide. It will have massively more atmosphere than AAMI ever did, although (and the traditionalists will flame me for this) I found the northern end very much an anachronism compared tot he rest of the stadium. I was originally not in favour of the redevelopment, but having seen what has been done so far,
I now think the stadium would have been better with a stand at the northern end of the same design as the Southern Stand.
It certainly is more a a coliseum atmosphere than AAMI had, which was an open bowl. Adelaide Oval has much steeper stands and you really feel like you are on top of the play, unlike AAMI where the stands were shallower and you felt further away from the play. I tried several spots in the Members stand and I found the best place to watch was from the concourse of the 2nd level where I felt right on top of the play.
Couldn't take any pics as I forgot my phone

but I think the viewing experience at Adelaide Oval will be 2nd to none.
