Similar to the other poll, what does everyone think, pretty sure it has been done before, but not with a poll..

You missed a poll choise, "Anywhere except AAMI"
mick, North's got a better record at a few other grounds other than Prospect, I hate to say it, but the record for the last 3 years at Alberton is pretty impresive, and its always great to win there

Footy Pk, people tend to forget that before the Dogs V Eagles dyansty started crowds of 39,000 - 46,000 were the norm.
Adelaide Oval is uncomfortable with 25,000 people in it let alone nearly double that.

Footy Park. People forget it was built for and mostly funded by the SANFL clubs not the Cows or Puffs. SANFL players deserve to play there more often than they do.

The issue with Football Park is that the banners over the seats give it a look that does not really do it justice and makes it look amatuer IMO.

Footy Park as its proven it can handle a good sized Grand Final crowd.
-Sojourner Im sure thats the major issue with Footy Park, do you think the banners would be there if an extra 5000 rolled up

Footy Park on the weekend really felt like a throwback to the 80's and 90's for me .. So much more atmosphere when you don't have %90 of the crowd all supporting the one team.

Yeah Im sure it would still be good, it's probably more a sense of tradition on my part as all the Grand Finals since I've been going have been at Footy Park.
Do they have a Premiers Bar at Adelaide Oval?

Footy Pk.
Unless the SACA redirect all the profits the GF make, including Car Parking etc etc back to the SANFL so the SANFL don't lose a dime, and then I'd maybe think about Adelaide Oval.

Bit like a Port Power game.

Adelaide Oval for certain... won't be as good now as it was before with a smaller capacity... but should still be better than AAMI, which I think just suffers in SANFL finals... GF isn't so bad, but other finals are a tad sterile there.

i went footy park out of the two, however if we get to the stage of having home finals, could thebarton or wayville be used as the neutral ground for a grand final ?
