The stadium was selected to host the Second Ashes Test on December 2nd, 2017 and a full capacity crowd of 55,000 was expected for this important cricket match. In order to provide the best show possible, all the lights in the stadium were replaced by LED floodlights.

  • The Adelaide Oval SMA Ltd (AOSMA) Is Pleased to Provide Its Written Submission to the Select Committee on the Redevelopment of Adelaide Oval
    ^val 31 January 2019 Leslie Guy Secretary to the Committee C/- Parliament House GPO Box 572 Adelaide 5001 By email: [email protected] Dear Ms Guy, The Adelaide Oval SMA Ltd (AOSMA) is pleased to provide its written submission to the Select Committee on the Redevelopment of Adelaide Oval. In doing so, we provide the following context we believe will be of significant value to the members of the Committee. In reviewing the first five years of operations of the redeveloped Adelaide Oval, it is important to understand the events that led to the formation of AOSMA and the creation of the eventual management model that was approved by Cabinet in 2011. AOSMA is a joint venture company of the two entities responsible for growing and developing the codes of cricket and football in South Australia - the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) and the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). Both are not-for-profit organisations that, historically, derived the bulk of their revenues from staging events at their respective grounds-Adelaide Oval and Football Park (AAMI Stadium). This income was critical to their respective abilities to fund, manage and support everything from junior participation to elite level talent development, clubs and competitions. In 2009, the then Labor Government offered one chance at transformational change. However, it put the onus of proving the incredibly complex business case of bringing football and cricket together at a redeveloped Adelaide Oval on SACA and SANFL. Then-and only then-would the necessary funding for the project be provided. While this created an opportunity for cricket and football to help shape their futures, it was also a task that necessitated both organisations to make sacrifices in meeting the Government's demands.

Cost: $ 690 million Australian Start of work construction: September 1996 Restructuring: From October 2001 to October 2003 Owner: Stadium Australia Group Project: Populous (Bligh Lobb Sports Architects) Hosted sports: Australian Rules football, rugby 13, rugby 15, football, cricket (Australia) THE LARGEST OLYMPIC STADIUM TO DATE Stadium Australia was built to host the 2000 Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games. The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used. The construction was started in September 1996 and completed just two and a half years later: on March 6, 1999, Sydney’s Olympic Stadium saw its first sport event: two rugby13 matches watched by 104,583 spectators. From October 2001 to October 2003, Stadium Australia was refurbished to make it the only stadium in the world capable of hosting five different professional sports: Rugby13 league, Rugby15 (Union), Australian Football, Soccer and Cricket.

  • THE GAME EXPLAINED 48 & 75 TRAM JOLIMONT STATION Incredibly Fast and Exciting, Australian Football Is Full of Amazing Courage, Athleticism and Skill
    TWITTER.COM/AFLDIVERSITY FACEBOOK.COM/AFLMULTICULTURALPROGRAM THE GAME EXPLAINED 48 & 75 TRAM JOLIMONT STATION Incredibly fast and exciting, Australian Football is full of amazing courage, athleticism and skill. Here is a guide to how the game is played. THE ESSENTIALS The game starts when a field umpire bounces the ball in the middle of the ground. The ball is also bounced in the centre to start each quarter and after a goal has been scored. Games are divided into four quarters of 20 minutes, plus extra time. Teams swap ends after each quarter. There are 22 players in a team and 18 are allowed on the playing field at any one time. THE AIM OF THE GAME It is all about kicking goals. That means kicking the ball through the tall inner sticks (the goalposts) to score six points for your team. If the ball goes between a goalpost and either of the smaller outer sticks, then a behind (worth one point) is scored. The ball play must remain within the boundary line, or else the ball is returned to the umpire to throw the ball back in play. The team that finishes with the biggest total score overall is the winner. THE SCORE WOOLWORTHS AFL PLAYGROUND When it comes to reading or writing the scores, the goals go first, then the behinds, then the total points. 246 BUS For example, a score of 10 goals and six behinds is a total of 66 points and is written 10.6 (66). UMPIRES THE MCG 70 TRAM RICHMOND STATION Field umpires: three field umpires control the game and award free kicks where the rules have been breached Boundary umpires: There are four boundary umpires who decide when the ball is out of bounds or out of bounds on the full.

  • Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics the Games
    Australia and the Olympic Games 1956 Melbourne Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics The Games Preparations Melbourne 1956 preparations and venues Focus Threats to preparations in the months before the Melbourne Olympic Games. Activity Read the following account and note the main events and problems which made Melbourne’s preparations difficult at that time. By mid-1956, with Brundage satisfied and the Olympic machinery finally moving with real precision, it seemed Melbourne’s problems were finally over. Nothing could harm the Games now, except maybe an outbreak of War. This did come before long: twice, really, in the form of a couple of invasions. The armed forces of Israel, Britain and France moved into Egypt to contest what became known as the Suez Crisis, and a few weeks later bloody fighting broke out in Hungary, as huge columns of tanks rolled into Budapest and 200,000 Soviet troops began to suppress a rebellion. Tension between Taiwan and mainland China increased to a point where it was barely tolerable, and finally the People’s Republic refused to attend the Olympics. To some Cold War warriors, this last omission was a godsend. One of them, James (later Sir James) Plimsoll, had been outraged when he learned of plans to sit the People’s Republic team of 216 in the same dining hall as teams from Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Burma and Ceylon. After a detailed analysis of kitchen and mess-room arrangements for the Olympic village, he wrote in a confidential memo: “I appreciate that it is easier to cater for groups which eat similar food, but the result of putting all these people together is to make it easy for the Communist Chinese to maintain contact with the rest of East Asia.
