There are a number of ways to enjoy Adelaide Oval on non-event days but it’s worth noting public access to the stadium is limited to particular parts of the venue.

Koffee Ink and Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen both provide a great place to enjoy coffee and refreshments but always best to check the opening hours before you come because they do change when events are being held. The Bradman Collection is free to view and open Monday to Saturday from 9am-4pm. Alternatively, book in for a Stadium Tour for the chance to visit areas that are usually off-limits and learn about the heritage of Adelaide Oval or take on RoofClimb Adelaide Oval for an experience like no other.

People who are double vaccinated will be required to display their COVID 19 Digital Certificate via their smartphone prior to entry. Follow this video or step-by-step guide for setting up your digital certificate.

In the case of a valid medical exemption, a certificate of exemption AND a recent negative test result no older than 72 hours will need to be provided.

Anyone with an official medical exemption will need to show a certificate of exemption and a recent negative test result (no older than 72 hours). This means you will need to ask your GP to apply to the Australian Immunisation Register and then SA Health, and show proof of this approval.

At entry gates, a lane for those declaring exemption will be set aside, to allow that screening to occur without impacting main lanes.

Adelaide Oval staff will be conducting a random screening process at all points of entry. In addition to this, our staff will be carrying out random checks throughout the stadium.

SA Health or SAPOL staff may also request proof of vaccination. Any person who cannot produce the required evidence will be required to leave the stadium and may face a 3-year ban.

A boutique hotel is an innovation that will not only help offset the ongoing costs associated with operating and maintaining the stadium, but will also ensure Adelaide Oval stays at the forefront of innovation in what is an extremely competitive international event market.

Oval Hotel will be an important addition to South Australia’s $6.7 billion visitor economy, which is a critical driver of jobs and investment. The hotel will create 120 ongoing FTE roles.

Oval Hotel will be built and managed by the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority. It will not be operated by an external provider, nor will it carry any large-scale external signage. A large number of Adelaide Oval staff members have extensive experience working in the four and five-star hotel and casino industry.

The design is being overseen by COX Architecture and project managed by Mott MacDonald, the same team responsible for the award-winning redevelopment of Adelaide Oval.

None of the stadium’s existing access/egress including the plaza and atrium entry are affected by the development. Planning is already underway to ensure the impact of construction on game day patrons arriving/leaving the stadium at the East Gate is kept at a minimum.

The hotel has been designed to fit as unobtrusively and seamlessly into the existing design as possible, retaining the magnificent views while not impacting the experience for game day patrons.

The 138-room boutique hotel will feature two wings that will integrate into the existing design on either side of the East Gate. They will be linked by an elevated foyer and lounge pod with views into the east atrium and out to the parklands and city skyline.

The design of the hotel has been extensively reviewed by the Office for Design and Architecture South Australia (ODASA) to ensure it complements the current outstanding Adelaide Oval design environment.

Bookings are now open and can be made here.
