The only non negotiable item is that the SANFL have the majority control of the stadium, not just 50% of the management. Its the saca that is the problem. Let them play at murray bridge. If footy hosts a match every weekend most of the year, then the SANFL has to be the controlling body. Cricket only uses Adelaide oval 6 or 7 days a year ( 1 test match and 1 or 2 one day matches ), yet they still have 50% control. BAD DEAL !
I am no liberal supporter but surely what is needed is a fully enclosed, semi air-condititioned stadium in all capital cities. Then footy could be played 12 months a year, particulary at night through summer. How much revenue could be generated playing footy year round, especiallly television rights. Perhap that is why they are retaining footy park.
Where did it say SANFL games are to be played at footy park. The only reference I saw to SANFL matches was that the GF would be played at Adelaide Oval.
Also, the SACA use the oval many more days then 7 a year. The Redbacks play there and altough the Sheffield Shield games attract bugger all in crowds, the 20/20 state games get quite large crowds, up around 10,000 I think and the 50 over games don't do to bad. Here's a list of how much they use it:
