Santos Stadium is a sporting venue located in the Adelaide Parklands immediately to the north of ETSA Park, Adelaide's largest netball complex.

Opened on Australia Day, 1998, it replaced the Olympic Sports Field[1] in Kensington as Adelaide's premier athletics venue, and has a maximum capacity of 8,000.[2]

It is located between West Terrace, on the edge of the CBD, and the suburb of Mile End, South Australia and is sponsored by the Australian oil and gas company Santos Ltd., which is headquartered in Adelaide. It is now home to Athletics South Australia, the South Australia Athletics League and the South Australia Little Athletics Associations, and is often used by schools for sporting carnivals.[3]
