It was in regards to selling naming rights to Adelaide Oval.
Miserable prick.

I don't really see a problem with it if we're going to inject $5M per year into grassroots footy, my point was that we all referred to AAMI Stadium as Footy Park, the same would apply to Adelaide Oval, he went nuts.

If you call the oval something else, what other event/attraction has any cut through in the Eastern States or internationally from Adelaide?
The more often it's called SponsorsNameHere Oval, the less time Adelaide is mentioned.
Just a thought.

I can still picture the old stands, even the southern end prior to the Bradman Stand going up.

Potentially true - but there seems to be similar hype about the new stadium in Perth, and I don't think that has suffered because its not called Perth Stadium or something.
Why not get tourism sa on board then, call it Barrossa oval or something.

That's actually a good example of where there's room for potential confusion:
You've Optus Stadium, but every time I hear it I think of Princes Park.
Stuff knows who sponsors Princes Park now, but it's still firmly imprinted in my mind as Optus Park.

I personally think they have done beyond an excellent job in redeveloping it into a modern stadium whilst still retaining the character of Adelaide oval. They could have just turned it into a concrete bowl, but the individual stands, scoreboard and hill means it retains some of the old character
