Football Park (AAMI Stadium)
It was South Australian football’s field of dreams.
Football Park, built on reclaimed marshlands in the western suburbs of Adelaide in the early 1970s and opened in 1974, was the home of the SANFL and SA football for nearly 40 seasons.
Adelaide’s game day relationship with AAMI Stadium (Football Park) ended in 2013 after 23 years, with all AFL games moved to a redeveloped Adelaide Oval from the 2014 season.
The Crows and fans said farewell on a winning note, Adelaide crushing Melbourne by 68 points on August 24.
It was Adelaide’s 280th premiership game at the ground. The final victory lifted the Club’s record to 180 wins, 100 losses.
More than 11 million spectators attended these games, starting back on March 22 1991 when Adelaide celebrated its entry to the AFL by thrashing Hawthorn by 86 points in the opening round.
The Adelaide Football Club continued to be based at Football Park, using its administration, oval and training facilities.
