Just home from Adelaide and very impressed with Adelaide Oval.
Few down sides to the stadium is the management of the place. A lot of the bars and food outlets closed on lower tier in southern stand even though it was full.
Gates locked at full time between the two stands with staff saying they have to wait till instructed to open. Wasnt until Cops got them to open them before everyone could exit.
The closed outlets when only level 1 was open in the Riverbank stand was a little odd. If the whole stand was open I can understand less outlets open, but with just the one level open they should've opened everything.
I think the locked gates between the stands was a police/security issue. With the way the Victory active area was behaving, security would've probably been instructed by the police to keep them penned in until the crowd thinned out.
For a football/cricket match that would never happen.
