You were right, according to Rucci on twitter it is the Adelaide FC that wants two ovals.2 ovals isn't an AFL requirement.

SACA managed to get Karen Rolton redeveloped with Old Ignatius football club as co-tennants
No reason we couldn't do the same with Adelaide Uni. The same stumbling blocks are in the way for both and if they solved it we can
There's a second Adelaide Uni Oval a bit further along war memorial drive that would be good too. Has a gym across the road. Take that over. Offices can go there so don't need building on parklands. The grandstand is decrepit there so needs to be overhauled anyway
Was there any public consultation for Karen Rolton Oval?SACA managed to get Karen Rolton redeveloped with Old Ignatius football club as co-tennants

Extensive I believeWas there any public consultation for Karen Rolton Oval?
Maybe but the grandstand at Uni 1 got completely overhauled a couple of years ago which I doubt they'd have been able to do if heritage listed.You would think that the small grandstand at Bob Neil No. 2 and especially the larger stand/clubrooms at Bob Neil No. 1 would be heritage listed.
They are also Uni cricket grounds in the summer. Are you going to rope of the cricket pitch area during Crows pre-season training?
I think there's 1 absolutely perfect site.
University Oval
In 2020 there were changes with community sport setup in that area of the parklands.
Park 12 gained a footy field at the expense of 2 soccer pitches
While Park 10 gained 2 soccer pitches at the expense of a footy field
You have that setup now of 2 footy field right next to each other.
Get in cahoots with University Football club.
Build the facilities basically on the corner of Frome-War Memorial
But you are right, the city is extremely conservative. Will stop just about everything.
Or could the club push for park 16 and sell it "By letting us build here it means our presence blocks the superloop 500 returning, so even though it is a permanent presence, it's a smaller disruption than the racetrack would be when building and dismantling the stands for half the year"
Old news, I came up with this idea years ago.
A swamp!Park 16 won't happen, this area is currently being turned into a massive wetlands. Looks pretty amazing.
Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi (Park 16) Wetland - Play & Go Adelaide
The Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi (Park 16) Wetland is ideal for families to explore. If you have been wondering what is looks like behind the fences around the southern end of Victoria Park, you can now explore the area after it was officially opened on Friday 6 May 2022. The path winds its way...playandgo.com.au
Is it even possible for Thebarton oval to be less attractive?
Sorry for stealing your thunder Pembo.
The Adelaide City Council have made it clear they won't deal with us. They will and have dealt with many many others, but not us.
The only way then to get one of those locations is to go above them. We should be talking with the State Government and seeing if we can set up a community styled development and ask the government to re-zone the area.

From a distance......what is the issue between the AFC and the ACC. If what you say is correct how and why did we piss them off. I would have thought that having the AFC located in the city limits would be an attractive concept. Or is this something to do with the Port/Crows relationship? If we have pissed them off why cant that be fixed and move forward after all the council members are elected and would change over the years.The Adelaide City Council have made it clear they won't deal with us.

I'm sure if Olsen's preference is within Adelaide, he will look to the State Government to bypass the ACC.
Why?Sheer fantasy
