Awesome photos, what time did you take them, I'm interested to know to work out how bright the sun is, as for our games I'm up the top deck of the Max Basheer stand (Middle Eastern stand).
I was there from 6 until 8; in the Eastern State, and I will admit, the sun was a factor - if we're playing a lot of twilight games, it could be a genuine problem.
I'm heading down for training today to have a look. Haven't been there yet
Your nipples will probably get hard.

We only have two twilight games, so that should be a bonus, that the sun shouldn't effect too many of our games. I think Port has 4 or 5 twilight games though
Port will be fine. Tarps can't get sun in their eyes.
Travelling over for the game now so I've had the pleasure of reading The Advertiser for the first time in a long time, anyway the reason we didn't go over the top decorating our race is because like most teams we will be putting up advertising on game days which will have to be removed when other things are on at the oval.
We will be covering Ports sponsor board thing but keeping the name on the race to avoid the negative press I assume.
Now since Port has painted theirs black, one of their colours I still think we should paint ours blue and put a name, not necessarily after a single person, and club logo up if Ports will be on show.

Did they end up finishing the copper cladding around the north/east staircase?

I don't know for sure but think it's a touch narrower than Etihad about about the same length if not a bit longer.
Ground looks amazing btw. Couldn't go have a look at a lot of it because there are a bunch of functions being run. Tex was out there at training and looked in good nick. Hopefully it's not too long until we see him back!

Does anybody have a ticket that requires upgrading on the day? This shouldn't be too much of a headache I assume.....?

Adelaide Oval is 167 x 123*
So it puts us almost right on Spotless/Skoda whatever it is (164 x 123)
*According to Wikipedia.
Went down for a look, fitted in nice with my day actually.. What a place this is, with training going on and the game close it was just brilliant..
Tex looks amazing, it's got to be said.. Moving like he did before, quick on his feet, changing direction with ease..
Put through a couple of shots from just outside 50m that went through at near 3/4 post high, and those posts are big.. Had a lot of shots on goal and I barely saw him miss, if he did at all..

Was just thinking, wouldn't it be nice if someone did a comparative graph / table thing

Great atmosphere all around at AO today. Technically only the ground level of the Riverbank stand was open, but anyone willing to walk past a cordon like it ain't no thing could basically get anywhere. All the workmen and officials were far too busy to notice you're there.
Treated myself to a pretty comprehensive self guided tour.

It's like we're a real city now.
I cross my fingers that the resulting warm fuzzy feeling helps pick the state up a little bit.

I just tagged along with a tour. Went inside the old scoreboard, ground level of Eastern stands, most of the Western stands plus inside the cricket areas. We also walked past Tredrea who said Port would smash the Crows
We then visited the Riverbank stand; I went right to the top, came down the steps too fast and fell over backwards and broke my fall just in time to avoid whacking my head... so yeah be careful coming down those steep steps
But overall, very impressive - dare I say it, possibly the best footy stadium in the country
