Adelaide Oval stands on War Memorial Drive in North Adelaide, in the Park Lands. The article names no architect for the 2012 to 2014 redevelopment. The South Australian Government owns the site, and the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority, a venture of SACA and the SANFL, runs it. Work began in April 2012, and the new Eastern Stand was ready for the 2014 AFL season. The article names no style or materials.
Seating rose to 50,083, with 19,000 in the Eastern Stand and 14,000 in the Riverbank Stand. The state's final offer was $535 million, plus a $40 million pedestrian bridge over the Torrens. The heritage scoreboard, in use since 1911, and the Moreton Bay fig trees were kept.
It hosts cricket and AFL, and has a 138-room hotel. Volunteers lead 90-minute tours. The article gives no hours.
