Adelaide Oval Reviews

Terrified of heights but Alistair and Spencer made me forget I was even afraid of heights. Such a great experience

Awesome atmosphere great prices for tickets, reasonable prices for food and drinks. Been there twice now for cricket and got to witness some awesome milestones on day 2 Australia vs Pakistan.

Good atmosphere. Great venue. Cost of food too expensive though

Food availability is abysmal! Concert catering leaves much to be desired. Bring I g food trucks!!!!!!

Awesome, modern stadium, with ample access to good viewing areas, clean modern toilet facilities, organized food outlets(although they are expensive when compared to the main commercial areas outside the oval)( and I DO realise they have enormous overheads to cover on a non-daily trade basis). Worth taking the guided tour on offer and perhaps the roof-top walk!?(My knees can no longer cope unfortunately or I would have tried it

Best view,in front !river point , railway station also very nice & near.

New modern experience. Embarrasing, horrendous pricing of food is a DISGRACE to Tourism in this great state of ours

Easy to get in and out and a great place to watch footy

Great to watch the footy.
Food & drink prices are a bit excessive.

Great venue with good views from almost any location. Easy to move around and good facilities.

Great ground for cricket or footy. Great atmosphere when there's a full house.

It was a very hot day and the aircon in the Audi Bar didn't seem to be working!

Fantastic venue, departure proceedure could be better.

Saw a great concert here. The performance was great, the sound quality was dreadful. We were in the western stand on level 2. I've been told that if you sit on the oval (and pay the price to do so) then the sound quality is great. Disappointing!

A superb sports stadium. Blends tradition with modernity absolutely seamlessly.

very good place to go for a while and in oure country Holland we have the Amsterdam Arena that's the Ajax FC play there soccer matches

If you want to learn more about the Adelaide Oval, you can join a behind-the-scenes tour or explore their fantastic museum.
Embark on a journey into the inner sanctum of the Adelaide Oval, led by expert volunteer guides. Go behind closed doors as you are told captivating stories, shown hidden secrets and relive celebrated moments. Stand inside the historic century-old scoreboard and enjoy a birds-eye view of the impressive Adelaide city landscape.
Guided walking tours of the oval are approximately 90 minutes in length and cover up to two and a half kilometres in distance. Adelaide Oval stadium tours operate Monday to Saturday on non-event days.
Born 145 years ago in 1871, the Adelaide Oval was born after the formation of the South Australian Cricket Association.
But Adelaide Oval isn t all about sports. Throughout its life, it s hosted major concerts from artists such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elton John and Paul McCartney. It was the first venue in the Southern Hemisphere that David Bowie performed at.
In 2014, a huge project to upgrade the Adelaide Oval was completed. The Oval had always been a South Australian icon, but its upgrade transformed it into one of the most advanced, state-of-the-art outdoor venues in Australia. The revamped Adelaide Oval has a seating capacity of 53,500, with over 2100 square metres of grass, and almost 900 square metres of viewing platforms.
Take on the icon with the Commonwealth Bank RoofClimb Adelaide Oval and see the stadium from an entirely different perspective.

Huge improvement on aami stadium. One of the best in tee he world

What an amazing oval. World class venue. Great atmosphere and awesome lighting and sound system.

After taking out a second mortgage on my house to buy a pie and a can of coke I was able to sit on the ground in the section that they forgot to build a stand, then walked 2 kilometres to the nearest car park.

Love it! The noise and atmosphere were amazing, it can't be fully explained but must be personally experienced to understand.

Amazing, best stadium in Australia. Could do with some better food options though

One of the best sporting complex in the world, easy access to get around, enough bars & food outlets, feel close to the action!

Had my first big bash experience and had such a fun night out. If only some parents were a little more watchful of their kids, they kept jumping up on the barricade obscuring our view. Or maybe even if security were to help children to go back to their seats.

Still the best cricket ground in world. Sad to say that this is offset by the ridiculous pricing they have for beer!

Spectacular and the surrounding park's and gardens. Walked for miles and my legs are still aching haven't been in that are for many many years we are going to do it again

Management still have their heads up their backside when it comes to convenience for patrons by keeping food service closed in areas. Will vote with my feet!!!

it is marvellous cricket stadium,,,, anong the best in the world ..... great

The worlds prettiest stadium. Ive been to quite a few stadiums and this is a real goodie!! Obviously food and drinks could all be friendlier, but even that doesnt stop this 5 star rating. A must see!

What an Oval!!!! Simply marvellous. The huge stands, Sweet green fresh turf. Amazing 90 mins tour around it. Amazing old scoreboards to walk through. And so many things to see inside. A must visit for All Cricket fans

We jioned a free tour inside the oval, the volunteers are super nice and full of humour, we went inside the historic tower and got the idea of how people show the game scores long time ago. Fantastic tour.

Best place to watch sport in Australia. Would be 5 stars but for the complete lack of healthy food options.

Great place good staff very helpful great food choices

Great venue with good views from most areas. The best oval venue in Australia.

Great stadium for big ticket events. Located in the heart of Adelaide, close to hotels and restaurants.

Went to midnight oil concert. The concert was great but the venue was card only which I wasn't made aware of before entering. Had to get my cash converted to an adelaide oval card which took ages to organise and now I'm left with money still on it as it can only be used at adelaide oval.

Staff were great including security, great setting, great food

It was a great day. Celebrating st patricks day . Thanks hope it continues. Our kidd had a great day also .

Love the Oval. There could be a better variety of food choices

Best stadium of its size in the country!
The old aesthetics have been kept and blend well with the new stands.
Disappointed with the prices of the food and beverages.

Nothing better than when your team wins. Unfortunately food and drinks are quite expensive

Location accessibility to trains and trams. Great seating and the staff make shore they give you a great experience.

Wonderful sports and events venue with the mixture of modern design and heritage listed sections.

I feel as though this place is my spirit-home. I love it although I can't say it's because I'm a huge sports fan. Some of the best views of the city ...

Very interesting tour, impressed with the guide. Would highly recommend.

This has got to be one of the best stadiums in the world - surely. Great experience.

Did the rooftop walk. Very good value and informative guide, plenty of knowledge on the subject and surrounding location.
