Adelaide Oval history
Adelaide Oval company history timeline
Born 145 years ago in 1871, the Adelaide Oval was born after the formation of the South Australian Cricket Association.
The first century scored at the ground was recorded by John Hill, father of legendary Australian Test player Clem Hill, in January 1878.
Two years later, in December 1884, the Oval became only the sixth venue in the world to host a Test match, when England defeated Australia by eight wickets.
Built in an Edwardian style, the scoreboard was first used in 1911 and the clock was added a year later.
The Adelaide Oval scoreboard in 1990.
In 2003, two grandstands, named after SA’s cricketing Chappell brothers Ian, Greg and Trevor were completed.
In 2009, the State Government announced it would fund redevelopment of the Oval into a multipurpose sports facility to accommodate AFL football and pay off SACA’s $90m debt.
In 2014, a huge project to upgrade the Adelaide Oval was completed.
It hosted the world’s first day-night Test match, when Australia played New Zealand from November 27, 2015, and on Saturday another chapter will be written with a capacity crowd packing the ground for the first ever day-night Ashes Test.
