It is the home of the Australian [[A-League]] team, [[Adelaide United FC|Adelaide United]]. |
||
The stadium |
The stadium has a capacity of 16,500,<ref name="austadiums1"/> of which 15,000 is seated, and is home to professional [[Association football|football]] (soccer) [[A-League Men|A-League]] team [[Adelaide United FC|Adelaide United]], who regularly fill this capacity, and averaged crowds of over 12,000 to its matches during the [[A-League 2006-07|2006-07]] and [[A-League 2007-08|2007-08]] seasons. United used the stadium for its home matches in both the league and in various [[AFC Champions League]] campaigns. The venue hosted five matches during the [[2023 FIFA Women's World Cup]] and underwent a redevelopment to the eastern stand in preparation. |

{{More citations needed section|date=May 2023}} |
|||
Built in 1960, the stadium stands on the site that was once Hindmarsh Oval which housed the [[West Torrens Football Club]] of the [[South Australian National Football League|SANFL]] from 1905 until 1921, when the team moved to nearby [[Thebarton Oval]] which would remain its home until 1989. |
|||
Built in 1960, the stadium stands on the site that was once Lindsay Circus/Hindmarsh Oval which housed the Hindmarsh Cricket Club (later [[West Torrens Cricket Club|West Torrens District Cricket Club]]) from 1857 - 1921, and [[West Torrens Football Club]] of the [[South Australian National Football League|SANFL]] from 1905 until 1921. During World War I, the Patriotic Football League, a group of SANFL clubs that wanted to continue playing football during the war, played many games at the venue. The 1916 Patriotic Football League Grand Final was held at the ground between {{AFL Por}} and {{SANFL WT}} with Port Adelaide winning 7.11 (53) to 1.13 (19).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59827704 |title=FOOTBALL. |newspaper=[[The Mail (Adelaide)]] |volume=5 |issue=222 |location=South Australia |date=19 August 1916 |access-date=23 January 2017 |page=5 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> |
|||
The [[Football |
The [[Football South Australia|Soccer Association of South Australia]] owned land on a former brick pit on [[Torrens Road]] at [[Brompton, South Australia|Brompton]] named Rowley Park which was located only 5 km from the [[City of Adelaide|city]], and the original plan was for the land to be the home of Soccer in SA as the site formed a natural bowl.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} However, the Soccer Association had received negative press regarding its failure to grow grass on the site. Rowley Park also had a tendency to flood during winter as the bottom of "The Brick Pit" was below the level of the [[water table]] which made playing soccer virtually impossible. The land was eventually leased to a group of [[Dirt track racing|speedway]] drivers and would become the famous [[Rowley Park Speedway]] which ran from December 1949 until it closed in April 1979.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} The land was eventually sold and is now the Kym Bonython housing estate, named for the speedway's long time promoter [[Kym Bonython]]. |
||
When it became obvious to the Soccer Association that Rowley Park would be unsuitable as a soccer venue they obtained a lease on Hindmarsh Oval from the Hindmarsh Council.

When it became obvious to the Soccer Association that Rowley Park would be unsuitable as a soccer venue they obtained a lease on Hindmarsh Oval from the Hindmarsh Council. The old Hindmarsh Oval was developed over the years into a rectangular stadium capable of holding 15,000 with a single tier grandstand built in 1960 that held approximately 2,000 while 6 light towers for night games (plus another 8 smaller light towers on the grandstand roof) were installed during the mid-1970s.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} Other than the grandstand, the ground was all terracing surrounding the playing surface. This changed in 1996 when seats were installed on the eastern side of the ground.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} |

Along with the [[Kensington Oval, Adelaide|Olympic Sports Field]], Hindmarsh became one of two Adelaide venues in the former [[National Soccer League]] which was launched in [[1977 National Soccer League|1977]]. Hindmarsh was the home ground of the [[Adelaide City|Adelaide City Zebras]] (who also played games at the Sports Field), and later the home ground for [[West Adelaide SC|West Adelaide Hellas]]. Hindmarsh would eventually become the sole Adelaide NSL venue during the late 1980s. |
||
In 1986 Hindmarsh |
In 1986, Hindmarsh Stadium hosted the first leg of the NSL Grand Final between Adelaide City and [[Sydney Olympic Football Club|Sydney Olympic]]. Olympic won 1–0. Adelaide would go on to win the 2nd leg in Sydney 3–1 and become NSL Champions. Hindmarsh again hosted the NSL Grand Final (this time a single game) in 1994-95 when Adelaide City faced the [[Mark Viduka]] led [[Melbourne Knights FC|Melbourne Knights]]. In front of a crowd of over 16,000 the Knights defeated the Zebras 2–0.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} |

As soccer was generally played to smaller crowds during the 1970s and 1980s{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}, Hindmarsh became a regular host of the [[Socceroos]] in some of their international matches, with Adelaide-based players such as [[Robert Zabica]], [[Alex Tobin]], and the Vidmar brothers [[Aurelio Vidmar|Aurelio]] and [[Tony Vidmar|Tony]] all playing prominent roles. |
||
==Association football since 2000== |
|||
Hindmarsh Stadium not only hosted soccer matches but also hosted [[Rugby Union]] and [[Rugby League]]. In 1992 the [[New Zealand All Blacks]] played an exhibition game against a [[South Australia Rugby Union|South Australian 'Select']] team which included former [[Australian Wallabies|Wallabies]] [[Lock (rugby union)|Lock]] and current day author/media personality [[Peter FitzSimons]]. The All Blacks, including goal kicking [[Stand-off (rugby union)|Stand-off]] [[Grant Fox]], ran out easy winners while FitzSimons (playing up to the crowd by humorously claiming innocence) was sent off mid-way through the second half after numerous infringements. |
|||
Hindmarsh Stadium was one of the venues chosen to host preliminary matches for the [[Football at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|men's soccer]] during the [[2000 Olympics]] held in [[Sydney]]. This saw the stadium receive almost a complete rebuild which brought it to its present status. The field was lengthened from 110 to 120 metres to be able to also accommodate both rugby league and rugby union which used longer field dimensions (though the minimum field length of a union field including in-goal areas is actually 120 metres so shorter than desirable in-goals are required), the six old light towers were replaced with four television standard ones (one in each corner with lights also on the front edge of the grandstand roof) and the former terracing was now all seated, uncovered stands with only the grandstand built in the mid-1990s remaining in place. During the Olympics, temporary stands were erected in the corners of the stadium to bring capacity up to 20,000.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} Hosting matches from Groups A and B, the recorded attendance at Hindmarsh was set at 18,340 when [[Italy national under-21 football team|Italy]] drew 1–1 [[Nigeria national under-23 football team|Nigeria]] on 19 September 2000.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}} |
|||
Other [[soccer]] played in the stadium in the past include several international matches, including most of the games played in the [[2004 OFC Nations Cup]] - an event where the Socceroos began their qualifying campaign for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]]. In 2007 the venue hosted the first two rounds of the [[Australia men's national under-23 soccer team|Olyroos]] campaign as they qualified for the [[2008 Summer Olympics]]. With the rise in the sports popularity in Australia, Hindmarsh is rarely used these days by the Socceroos other than for training purposes or matches against lower ranked countries such as those from the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] islands. International matches now generally take place at larger capacity venues such as [[Sydney]]'s 84,000 seat [[Stadium Australia]], [[Brisbane]]'s 52,500 seat [[Lang Park]], or the largest stadium in the [[Southern Hemisphere]], the 100,024 capacity [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]]. Though with the redevelopment of the [[Adelaide Oval]] to a world class, [[FIFA]] compliant 53,583 capacity stadium (50,083 seated), there is renewed speculation that the Socceroos will return to Adelaide for high-profile international matches.{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}} |
|||
In 1998 the short lived [[National Rugby League]] team the [[Adelaide Rams]] used Hindmarsh for their last 4 home games of the [[1998 NRL season]]. The Rams début at the venue was a success when they thumped the [[Balmain Tigers]] 52-0 in front of 7,351 fans. The Rams would end up 2-2 at Hindmarsh after defeating the [[Auckland Warriors]], but losing to [[Manly Sea Eagles|Manly]] and [[North Sydney Bears|North Sydney]]. The Rams were to continue using Hindmarsh as their home ground in the [[1999 NRL season]], however the team was wound up by owners [[News Limited|News Ltd]] only weeks before the start of the 1999 season. |
|||
===Adelaide United=== |
|||
Hindmarsh Stadium was one of the venues chosen to host preliminary matches for the [[Football at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|men's soccer]] during the [[2000 Summer Olympic Games]] held in [[Sydney]]. This saw the stadium receive almost a complete rebuild which brought it to its present status. The field was lengthened, the lighting upgraded, a new main grandstand was built, and the former terracing was now all seated, uncovered stands. During the Olympics, temporary stands were erected in the corners of the stadium to bring capacity up to 20,000. Hosting matches from Groups A and B, the highest recorded attendance at Hindmarsh was 18,340 when [[Italy national under-23 football team|Italy]] drew 1-1 [[Nigeria national under-23 football team|Nigeria]] on 19 September 2000. |
|||
{{further|Adelaide United FC}} |
|||
Hindmarsh Stadium has been the home ground of [[A-League Men]] club Adelaide United since the formation of the club in 2003. The stadium's record attendance outside of the 2000 Olympic Games is 17,000 at the [[2008 AFC Champions League]] [[2008 AFC Champions League Final|Final second leg]] between Adelaide United and [[Gamba Osaka]] of [[Japan]]. Adelaide lost 2–0, being the first Australian side to reach the Final of the AFC Champions League. |
|||
Since 2013, the stadium has been known has Coopers Stadium, under sponsorship from Adelaide brewery [[Coopers Brewery|Coopers]].<ref name=Coopers/> |
|||
Other [[soccer]] played in the stadium in the past include several international matches, including most of the games played in the [[2004 OFC Nations Cup]] - an event where the Socceroos began their qualifying campaign for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]].

International matches now generally take place at larger capacity venues such as [[Sydney]]'s 84,000 seat [[ANZ Stadium]] or the 100,024 capacity [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]]. |
|||
The venue took host to the inaugural [[2014 FFA Cup Final|FFA Cup Final]] on 16 December 2014 which saw Adelaide United defeat [[Perth Glory FC|Perth Glory]]. It has gone on to have a rich cup football history, with United hosting and winning in [[2018 FFA Cup Final|2018]] and [[2019 FFA Cup Final|2019]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.adelaideunited.com.au/news/adelaide-triumph-inaugural-cup-final|title=Adelaide triumph in inaugural Cup Final|website=Adelaide United|date=16 December 2014 |language=en|access-date=2018-04-17}}</ref> United were 1–0 victors with an attendance of 16,142.<ref name=":0" /> |
|||
On 15 April 2006 on a Saturday night the stadium hosted its first NRL match since 1998 when the Sydney based [[Penrith Panthers]] played that year's NRL Grand Finalist the [[Melbourne Storm]]. With 7,017 fans in attendance the Storm ran out easy 40-18 winners with emerging rugby league superstar [[Greg Inglis]] scoring 3 tries for Melbourne.<ref>[http://stats.rleague.com/rl/scorers/games/2006/200604151927.html Penrith v Melbourne stats]</ref> |
|||
==Rugby football== |
|||
The Stadium's Record attendance is 17,000 at the [[AFC Champions League 2008|2008 AFC Champions League]] [[AFC Champions League 2008#Final|Final Second leg]] between Adelaide United and [[Gamba Osaka]] of [[Japan]]. Adelaide lost 2-0, but still became runners up. |
|||
Hindmarsh Stadium not only hosted soccer matches but also hosted [[Rugby union]] and [[Rugby league]]. In 1992 the [[New Zealand All Blacks]] played an exhibition game against a [[South Australia Rugby Union|South Australian 'Select']] team. The All Blacks, including goal kicking [[Stand-off (rugby union)|Stand-off]] [[Grant Fox]] who would retire the following year as the All Blacks highest ever point scorer, ran out easy winners while FitzSimons, playing up to the crowd by humorously claiming innocence, was sent off midway through the second half after numerous infringements. At the time this made FitzSimons the only Wallaby (although his international career had finished by the time of the match) to ever be sent off in a match against the All Blacks. |

[[File:Hindmarsh Stadium 6.jpg|thumb|[[National Rugby League]] match between the [[Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks]] and [[North Queensland Cowboys]] at Hindmarsh Stadium on 19 April 2009]] |
|||
On 3 October 2008 it was announced by the SA Government Minister for Recreation and Sport [[Michael Wright (Australian politician)|Michael Wright]] and [[Cronulla Sharks]] coach [[Ricky Stuart]] that the Sharks would play three NRL home games at Hindmarsh over 3 years starting from 2009. The first of those was against the [[North Queensland Cowboys]] on 19 April 2009. On a sunny autumn day the Cowboys defeated the Sharks 34-10 in front of 8,547 fans, the record crowd for a rugby league match at Hindmarsh. |

In 1998 the short lived [[National Rugby League]] team the [[Adelaide Rams]] used Hindmarsh for their last 4 home games of the [[1998 NRL season]]. The Rams début at the venue was a success when they thumped the [[Balmain Tigers]] 52–0 in front of 7,351 fans. The Rams would end up 2–2 at Hindmarsh after defeating the [[Auckland Warriors]], but losing to [[Manly Sea Eagles|Manly-Warringah]] and [[North Sydney Bears|North Sydney]]. The Rams were to continue using Hindmarsh as their home ground in the [[1999 NRL season]] giving them a rectangular venue suited to league rather than an oval as was their previous home, the [[Adelaide Oval]]. However the team was wound up by owners [[News Limited|News Ltd]] only weeks before the start of the 1999 season. |

On 15 April 2006 on a Saturday night the stadium hosted its first NRL match since the Rams final home game in 1998 when the Sydney-based [[Penrith Panthers]] played that year's NRL Grand Finalist the [[Melbourne Storm]].

Unfortunately for NRL fans in Adelaide it was announced early in the [[2010 NRL season|2010 season]] that Cronulla had been allowed by the SA Government to pull out of their contract. Cronulla's official reasons were wanting to concentrate on their home fans by not taking home games away from [[Endeavour Field|Toyota Stadium]]. When the NRL returned to Adelaide in [[2010 NRL season|2010]] the [[Canterbury Bulldogs]] played at the [[Adelaide Oval]] instead of Hindmarsh against the Melbourne Storm. The Bulldogs have since made the Adelaide Oval their 'other' home, returning in [[2011 NRL season|2011]], again against the Storm.<ref>[http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/adelaide-left-to-bulldogs/story-e6frep5x-1225793112166 Adelaide left to Bulldogs | Courier Mail<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

==Upgrades== |
|||
In 1996 as part of the rebuilding of the venue before the [[2000 Summer Olympics]], the original single tier grandstand with its wooden bench seats was demolished and replaced by the current two tier structure. The terracing on the opposite wing was also removed and replaced by seating. When the ground was rebuilt before the Olympics only the new grandstand would remain in place. |
|||
In 2021 Hindmarsh Stadium began undergoing a $53 million redevelopment which included new stadium lighting, a roof for the eastern grandstand, big screens, improvements to the stadium's change-rooms, upgrades to the media facilities, spectator amenities, and a corporate facility in the Eastern stand.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.austadiums.com/news/1011/53m-coopers-stadium-upgrade-underway-as-updated-renders-are-released|title=$53m Coopers Stadium upgrade underway as updated renders are released|work=Austadiums|date=11 August 2021}}</ref> The redevelopment was completed in January 2023, months in advance of the stadium's fixtures for the [[2023 FIFA Women's World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.austadiums.com/news/1239/upgraded-coopers-stadium-ready-for-fifa-womens-world-cup|title=Upgraded Coopers Stadium ready for FIFA Women's World Cup|work=Austadiums|date=9 January 2023}}</ref> |

Hindmarsh Stadium (also known as Coopers Stadium under naming rights)[3] is a multi-purpose stadium in Hindmarsh, an inner western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is the home of the Australian A-League team, Adelaide United.
The stadium has a capacity of 16,500,[2] of which 15,000 is seated, and is home to professional football (soccer) A-League team Adelaide United, who regularly fill this capacity, and averaged crowds of over 12,000 to its matches during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons. United used the stadium for its home matches in both the league and in various AFC Champions League campaigns. The venue hosted five matches during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and underwent a redevelopment to the eastern stand in preparation.
History
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2023) |
Built in 1960, the stadium stands on the site that was once Lindsay Circus/Hindmarsh Oval which housed the Hindmarsh Cricket Club (later West Torrens District Cricket Club) from 1857 - 1921, and West Torrens Football Club of the SANFL from 1905 until 1921. During World War I, the Patriotic Football League, a group of SANFL clubs that wanted to continue playing football during the war, played many games at the venue. The 1916 Patriotic Football League Grand Final was held at the ground between Port Adelaide and West Torrens with Port Adelaide winning 7.11 (53) to 1.13 (19).[4]
The Soccer Association of South Australia owned land on a former brick pit on Torrens Road at Brompton named Rowley Park which was located only 5 km from the city, and the original plan was for the land to be the home of Soccer in SA as the site formed a natural bowl.[citation needed] However, the Soccer Association had received negative press regarding its failure to grow grass on the site. Rowley Park also had a tendency to flood during winter as the bottom of "The Brick Pit" was below the level of the water table which made playing soccer virtually impossible. The land was eventually leased to a group of speedway drivers and would become the famous Rowley Park Speedway which ran from December 1949 until it closed in April 1979.[citation needed] The land was eventually sold and is now the Kym Bonython housing estate, named for the speedway's long time promoter Kym Bonython.
When it became obvious to the Soccer Association that Rowley Park would be unsuitable as a soccer venue they obtained a lease on Hindmarsh Oval from the Hindmarsh Council. The old Hindmarsh Oval was developed over the years into a rectangular stadium capable of holding 15,000 with a single tier grandstand built in 1960 that held approximately 2,000 while 6 light towers for night games (plus another 8 smaller light towers on the grandstand roof) were installed during the mid-1970s.[citation needed] Other than the grandstand, the ground was all terracing surrounding the playing surface. This changed in 1996 when seats were installed on the eastern side of the ground.[citation needed]
Along with the Olympic Sports Field, Hindmarsh became one of two Adelaide venues in the former National Soccer League which was launched in 1977. Hindmarsh was the home ground of the Adelaide City Zebras (who also played games at the Sports Field), and later the home ground for West Adelaide Hellas. Hindmarsh would eventually become the sole Adelaide NSL venue during the late 1980s.
In 1986, Hindmarsh Stadium hosted the first leg of the NSL Grand Final between Adelaide City and Sydney Olympic. Olympic won 1–0. Adelaide would go on to win the 2nd leg in Sydney 3–1 and become NSL Champions. Hindmarsh again hosted the NSL Grand Final (this time a single game) in 1994-95 when Adelaide City faced the Mark Viduka led Melbourne Knights. In front of a crowd of over 16,000 the Knights defeated the Zebras 2–0.[citation needed]
As soccer was generally played to smaller crowds during the 1970s and 1980s[citation needed], Hindmarsh became a regular host of the Socceroos in some of their international matches, with Adelaide-based players such as Robert Zabica, Alex Tobin, and the Vidmar brothers Aurelio and Tony all playing prominent roles.
Association football since 2000
[edit]Hindmarsh Stadium was one of the venues chosen to host preliminary matches for the men's soccer during the 2000 Olympics held in Sydney. This saw the stadium receive almost a complete rebuild which brought it to its present status. The field was lengthened from 110 to 120 metres to be able to also accommodate both rugby league and rugby union which used longer field dimensions (though the minimum field length of a union field including in-goal areas is actually 120 metres so shorter than desirable in-goals are required), the six old light towers were replaced with four television standard ones (one in each corner with lights also on the front edge of the grandstand roof) and the former terracing was now all seated, uncovered stands with only the grandstand built in the mid-1990s remaining in place. During the Olympics, temporary stands were erected in the corners of the stadium to bring capacity up to 20,000.[citation needed] Hosting matches from Groups A and B, the recorded attendance at Hindmarsh was set at 18,340 when Italy drew 1–1 Nigeria on 19 September 2000.[citation needed]
Other soccer played in the stadium in the past include several international matches, including most of the games played in the 2004 OFC Nations Cup - an event where the Socceroos began their qualifying campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In 2007 the venue hosted the first two rounds of the Olyroos campaign as they qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics. With the rise in the sports popularity in Australia, Hindmarsh is rarely used these days by the Socceroos other than for training purposes or matches against lower ranked countries such as those from the Pacific islands. International matches now generally take place at larger capacity venues such as Sydney's 84,000 seat Stadium Australia, Brisbane's 52,500 seat Lang Park, or the largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere, the 100,024 capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground. Though with the redevelopment of the Adelaide Oval to a world class, FIFA compliant 53,583 capacity stadium (50,083 seated), there is renewed speculation that the Socceroos will return to Adelaide for high-profile international matches.[citation needed]
Adelaide United
[edit]Hindmarsh Stadium has been the home ground of A-League Men club Adelaide United since the formation of the club in 2003. The stadium's record attendance outside of the 2000 Olympic Games is 17,000 at the 2008 AFC Champions League Final second leg between Adelaide United and Gamba Osaka of Japan. Adelaide lost 2–0, being the first Australian side to reach the Final of the AFC Champions League.
Since 2013, the stadium has been known has Coopers Stadium, under sponsorship from Adelaide brewery Coopers.[3]
The venue took host to the inaugural FFA Cup Final on 16 December 2014 which saw Adelaide United defeat Perth Glory. It has gone on to have a rich cup football history, with United hosting and winning in 2018 and 2019.[5] United were 1–0 victors with an attendance of 16,142.[5]
Rugby football
[edit]Hindmarsh Stadium not only hosted soccer matches but also hosted Rugby union and Rugby league. In 1992 the New Zealand All Blacks played an exhibition game against a South Australian 'Select' team. The All Blacks, including goal kicking Stand-off Grant Fox who would retire the following year as the All Blacks highest ever point scorer, ran out easy winners while FitzSimons, playing up to the crowd by humorously claiming innocence, was sent off midway through the second half after numerous infringements. At the time this made FitzSimons the only Wallaby (although his international career had finished by the time of the match) to ever be sent off in a match against the All Blacks.
In 1998 the short lived National Rugby League team the Adelaide Rams used Hindmarsh for their last 4 home games of the 1998 NRL season. The Rams début at the venue was a success when they thumped the Balmain Tigers 52–0 in front of 7,351 fans. The Rams would end up 2–2 at Hindmarsh after defeating the Auckland Warriors, but losing to Manly-Warringah and North Sydney. The Rams were to continue using Hindmarsh as their home ground in the 1999 NRL season giving them a rectangular venue suited to league rather than an oval as was their previous home, the Adelaide Oval. However the team was wound up by owners News Ltd only weeks before the start of the 1999 season.
On 15 April 2006 on a Saturday night the stadium hosted its first NRL match since the Rams final home game in 1998 when the Sydney-based Penrith Panthers played that year's NRL Grand Finalist the Melbourne Storm. With 7,017 fans in attendance the Storm ran out easy 40–18 winners with emerging rugby league superstar Greg Inglis scoring 3 tries for Melbourne.[6] It was a home match for the Panthers who brought the game to Adelaide due to renovations being completed at their usual home, Penrith Stadium in western Sydney.
On 3 October 2008 it was announced by the SA Government Minister for Recreation and Sport Michael Wright coach Ricky Stuart, head coach of Sydney-based NRL team the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, that the Sharks would play three NRL home games at Hindmarsh over 3 years starting from 2009. The first of those was against the North Queensland Cowboys on 19 April 2009. On a sunny autumn day the Cowboys defeated the Sharks 34–10 in front of 8,547 fans, the record crowd for a rugby league match at Hindmarsh.
Unfortunately for NRL fans in Adelaide it was announced early in the 2010 season that Cronulla had been allowed by the SA Government to pull out of their contract. Cronulla's official reasons were wanting to concentrate on their home fans by not taking home games away from Toyota Stadium. The NRL return to Adelaide in 2010 when another Sydney based club Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs played a home game at the Adelaide Oval instead of Hindmarsh against the Melbourne Storm. The Bulldogs had planned to make the Adelaide Oval their 'other' home, returning in 2011, again against the Storm, but this was also abandoned after just two years.[7]

Upgrades
[edit]In 1996 as part of the rebuilding of the venue before the 2000 Summer Olympics, the original single tier grandstand with its wooden bench seats was demolished and replaced by the current two tier structure. The terracing on the opposite wing was also removed and replaced by seating. When the ground was rebuilt before the Olympics only the new grandstand would remain in place.
In 2021 Hindmarsh Stadium began undergoing a $53 million redevelopment which included new stadium lighting, a roof for the eastern grandstand, big screens, improvements to the stadium's change-rooms, upgrades to the media facilities, spectator amenities, and a corporate facility in the Eastern stand.[9] The redevelopment was completed in January 2023, months in advance of the stadium's fixtures for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[10]
In 2024, Hindmarsh Stadium underwent a $53.5 million upgrade, which saw the installation of a new pitch, 15 new screens (2 large video replay screens and 13 digital signage screens across seven bars), and upgraded active supporter areas with safe standing.[11]
