Adelaide Oval Reviews

Roof climb is a must. Thanks Spencer from Roof Climb for helping me celebrate my milestone birthday

The Adelaide Oval remains one of cricket's most picturesque Test venues despite recent developments to increase the capacity and upgrade the facilities. Its position, situated amid gardens and trees and with the spire of St Peter's Cathedral as a backdrop, gives it a quintessentially English feel.

The ground opened in 1873 amid bitter local disputes over boundaries and money, and in its early years the pitches were often dreadful. Things gradually improved, although Adelaide's tendency to attract controversy remained. In 1884-85 it staged its first Test, but that was dogged by arguments with the English tourists over appearance money

This venue meets it's expectations and exceeds it everytime I attend.

It's simple, it's been voted one of the best sporting grounds in Australia..

Visited Adelaide oval football match central too everything next too Casino, hotels walking distance from CBD. Buy your food at ground level not much choices above that level.

Drink and food prices are a rip off I would like to have a beer at the footy but now don't as a matter of principle.
Disability access is a joke, drop off area rediculous choked with non disability traffic (reported to staff who did not care) not to mention unhelpful and lazy staff in general attended MCG in wheelchair and staff were brilliant chalk and cheese.
Attempted to call Adelaide Oval regarding Disability access went to message bank left message no call back ordinary fans are just cattle or cash cows to be ripped off at every opportunity.

If you get there early they still dont open gates till the last minute and the same with ticketek for pre bookings !

Went for a stadium tour. I understand the stadium can get busy but yesterday most things were out of bounds. No problems with that but they could have said before taking full money for the tour. Given the choice, I would have come back as I had brought an overseas visitor and the very things we wanted to see were all out of bounds.

Very expensive. Eat before the game and you can't bring in any cans of drink....

the iconic adelaide stadium, the best atmosphere to be in the world

Very expensive food and drink. But best stadium in OZ!

Great stadium. Short walk across the river from the city. Helpful staff.

Went to AFL match. Disorganised staff meant having to retrace our steps because no one knew how to access our seats. Food cold and unappetizing as well as being horrenously overpriced. Not on hurry to return will watch on tv in future.

Had an awesome day at a ODI, Aus/Ind.
Great day, great service.

The catering at Adelaide Oval is a disgrace. Food van disappear and prices increased at outlets by 50%. Stadium management are out of touch with what patrons require. No pies available at a night game. Did they not know it was a sellout. Crazy!!!

Awesome saw Phil Collins, Not Dead Yet, his son played drums - mighty talented! Good songs excellent singing good show! The show was five star Adelaide oval needs more width between rows though. It'd be nice when it's cold lol! Otherwise amenities were great and staff polite.

Oval is great, seats are good. Food drinks are RIDICULOUS

I have seen AFL, cricket, soccer and ACDC at this venue and I love it. My only gripe is the cost of food and drink. This place rocks.

Amazing stadium, incredible facilites and the function rooms were second to none

Great to view events but far too expensive to buy food and drinks

I came all the way from Melbourne to see this place and this place did not disappoint to me. Although there it was a working day, and the there was no game that day, but still the staff allowed me to enter the place and take pictures. The stadium is huge and very well maintained. Best place so far in Adelaide.

Nice oval and and stadium. Drinks and food are very expensive here, and a lot of places do not take cash (Card only). If i was rating just on the price of food/drinks it would be 1 star.

Football is great at adelaide Oval but the prices of Beer/food etc, Needs to be look at as it's all to expensive. All they would have to do is to knock a couple of $$$ of each item and yes they would sell more....mmmm

Great stadium, pleasant surroundings and super view of the pitch, even from the cheap seats.

The drop in food prices is honestly so good to see. Makes it much better.

One of the world's most picturesque grounds. Great atmosphere.

Great oval but the SMA gouge you for food and drinks

Adelaide Oval was great today the crows W Term won even though it was a one sided afair the quality of the football was very good from both sides. There is no doubt about it the oval itself is top class

Love it, what a massive icon, absolutely must see, especially 20 20 cricket, show down, and awesome live venue

Amazing ground that has been upgraded without losing the history and original features that made it so special to begin with.
Tours conducted day and night, even if you just want to check it out quickly you can walkthrough and see the pitch as well as a little history about the ground for free.
Highly recommended.

The single best sports stadium in Australia. Stunning venue. However, prices for everything are bordering on horrendous. And it's cash free. Despite the prices, a must go to venue especially for cricket Tragics

Brilliant great venue and great friendly staff helpful and great atmosphere

It is recommended to Koreans who have never watched AFL. You can meet some really hot Australian people and it is not known around the world like PL, BUNDESLIGA and LALIGA in Europe but it is enough to feel that much heat. The place I went to was the place where two teams in Adelaide were playing as a home stadium, and the facilities were well equipped, so it was easy to watch games, toilets and stalls. And the seats were clean and spacious and I liked to sit and watch, and I was impressed with AFL after my first visit because the entertainment and fans were kind and nice!

Best oval / stadium ever. Great experience, great staff, brilliant layout.

Great to be back to our amazing football and cricket stadium

Love it!!! Always a great crowd and atmosphere. Facilities are good
