Is that big roof the members wing for the footy?

Reserved Seating options have come out for the Western Stand.
The good news is the reserved seating options are quite minimal, with plenty of good open choice seating available, with Level 4 the only area that is completely reserved.

Given that the reason I took up Essential Crows ticket was to NOT have a reserved seat and sit around the same dickheads year-in, year-out, I won't be touching the reserved seating options.

Big roof to the right is the Southern Stand. The goals will be right in front of it. Members wing will have the same view as the photo.

Looks pretty dam good. Been watching a bit of the WA v SA shield match on CA web site & you start to see what a fantastic venue it will be.

Here's a comparison of the transformation of the Adelaide Oval! It really is hard to recognise it as the same place!

Try getting a photo from the early 90's with the cement steps and wooden benches all the way around the outer.

Hahaha I remember going to the cricket back in those days and seeing people with deck chairs whilst we used to sit on the old concrete steps!

Yeah, so do I and it wasn't that long ago. Not like 30 years but like 10.
Adelaide oval has had massive changes over the past decade or so.

Ohhh there's no doubt about it! It's hard to believe this has happened so quickly?? I mean the oval still pretty much looked like that top photo in 2007! It only feels like yesterday!

Ha ha tell me about it.
It only feels like yesterday that the Crows started and that was 22 years ago.

Yeah, I had a quick look on google images as well and couldn't find anything. Only image I could find was with the crowd on the outer.

As much as many thought there was danger in transforming a historic ground (my favourite cricket ground in Australia, as hard as that is to admit for an MCC member), the redevelopment still retains a lot of charm and looks like a great place to play cricket at.
Hopefully I can get over for a Test or a Bulldogs match in the next year or two.

The way I remember Adelaide oval, Creswell Stand, terraces.
Really looks nothing special from this angle.

Makes me think a lot of Norwood Oval - Long skinny ground, stand around one pocket and along one wing:
