Though personally I don't think the arches were worth saving, not that keen on the exterior... looks kinda cheap and temporary The middle section looks good though That's your opinion and you're welcome to it, I think the brickwork arches add something distinctive to the grand stand. From any angle...

Good, lets keep this thread streamlined and focused. Pics and/or specific talk about the current construction at Adelaide Oval

just thought I'd throw in a picture of the western grandstand final product artist render...the crew has less than 3 months to get to this stage...

Poor Pompey. Relegated and on the verge of going bust. I read the book "Utterly Confused" By Chuck Culpepper about a jaded Seppo sports journalist moving to England and falling in love with the beautiful game (in particular Pompey) it makes me so sad that such a good community-spirited cl...

a tram line down the parade (yep going back in time) wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, it would need to go a fairway down however to become relevant, it would be pretty hand for the schools along the upper parade. Yep lets bring back the old tram network. 3 lines 1 line from Norwood to Ent ...

More hysteria and a shortage of facts in the Murdoch Press today. Remember the councils have no say in this project as it is a State plan. Not actual news: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/council-hates-61m-bus-lanes-plan/comments-e6frea83-1225904364334 http://east-torrens-messeng...

The gap isnt that big, in fact its way smaller then it was before mainly due to the fact that far fewer people will need to use it. Most of the people that are going to use the stand will be funneled out the back and not forward. Good views of the layout and consruction can be made from the top tie...

great progress, the first seats can't be far away, I'm interested ib how the first level will pan out...will there be a wide terrace between the seats closest to the boundary fence and the steps up to the first elevated seats...if its too wide like the bradman stand, I think it will look bad. Thx xa...

I still find it hard to imagine 15000 people fitting in that stand...considering thats the capacity of Hindmarsh, it just doesnt look that big nitpick alert: Hindmarsh capacity is 16,500 and SACA documents state that the new western Stand will hold 14,000 spectators sources: http://www.cricketsa.co...

Many thanks xaragmata for your extensive photo essays of this great looking stand. Whoever got up the decision to split the political crap from the construction awesomeness should be knighted:) Still looking okay for November 17th I hope?:)

Is it just me or is there a northern "part" still missing? Or is it only 4 "parts"? There's definitely 5 parts. In the top picture, you can see the skeleton extending northwards, still plenty of time to get it done before the 1st event on Nov 17th(A tour game involving England -...

Hope you are a SACA member, otherwise you aren't getting anywhere near the centre section of the new stand... Both SACA and AUFC member, still holding out hope...If its anything like the cricket, getting there early should provide all the advantage I need, will just have to drink some full strength...
