All I could find was on wiki and it said the Hyatt opened in 89, which makes no sense but it also says that the Telstra building opened in 87 and there's clearly no sight of it in the above pic, not even a crane within coeee of the black building so I"m not sure.

Also the Creswell stand is still standing at Adelaide Oval. Think the replacement Bradman opened in 89/90 also?? Remember the old man taking me there on the old Shield $1 entry fee days. He likes to sticky beak at old & new buildings around the place because he works in the industry.

yeah, built in 90.



What I did notice at the footy on the weekend (1st time watching at AO) is that the new Bradman stand looked like an original stand, ie; not bulldozed, is that right>?

The old red bricks remained out the back. The rest of the stand ( Western Stand ) was redeveloped in about 2012.

Bradman doesn't have a stand named after him at AO.....he has a Pavilion instead ;)

Again, you don't get this thread.
This is the "Things I Rate Thread", not the "Things I Don't Care For" thread.

And that's why you make new threads :)

Big long threads like this are hard for non diehards to follow.
