Have not been to the Parade since the good old days of mid week Escort Cup footy in the late 70's. Went last week to watch my beloved Tigers play the Redlegs and by halftime wondered why I bothered. Bays had slipped to 7 goals down and I had to listen to a ball by ball running commentary by a very loud and excited Redleg supporter. However a shift to a different part of the ground turned my fortunes into an exciting second half come back and a day to remember. A bit of first half pain became a mammoth of full time gain. Go Tiges☝️

  • Col Lounder

Absolutely the best SANFL Oval there is. Plenty of seating in the outer and in the stands although some views from the stand behind the Southern goals are restricted and the upper tiers can be unbearable on hot days. Get there early if you want to park close to the ground or be prepared for a bit of a hike. Beware Norwood council parking inspectors - they are quite zealous and nothing puts a downer on a great day out like a $50 parking fine.

  • Barb Engelhardt

Using this oval for the women's afl is a great mistake. I nearly didn't come this week because last time no seats were permitted in the oval. I did come early enough to get a seat in the stands but might not come again. Thebarton oval is superior and last years games were a family event 10 of us. The Norwood match was so bad it is only my sister and I who came today the rest are not interested.

Not the best place to watch the SANFL football if you wanting to get out of the weather into the grandstand with the Huge ugly ball net between you and the oval that stays up all game, toilets are tiny and underground not the most comfortable place to visit. Not the best footy experience in the SANFL

  • Anthony Fowle

Norwood football oval is a great Oval to watch SANFL but one mat down for the club is there bench seats special there orange seats are very hard on back and bottoms maybe think about upgrades knowing that you're trying to keep your history alive maybe change your seats otherwise great experience

  • Kimberley Gibbs

Nice footy oval but its cheaper to go across the road better coffee hotter too and food is cheaper too... There toilets are a little too dirty and no come cleans them when a game is on so not very covid safe and no one listened to the covid rules all that much so way to relaxed for me...

  • Vanessa

Facilities need to be better!!! No chairs were allowed. Had to wait 1/2 hour to go to the female toilet only to have no toilet paper. Absolutely disappointing!!! My grandparents will not be able to attend these games. I'm not a fan of standing in the sun all day getting burnt either.

  • Mark Dawson

Women's Div 1 Grand Final - long queue at the sole ticket booth - many people signing in physically rather than via the recommended app compliant with COVID policies. Restricted boundary access due to development works. The Coopers Hill drinks outlet only sold Carlton

  • Simon Vanlint

An iconic SANFL. New lights are outstanding. The smaller ground gives an intimate feel. Just a great place to enjoy the footy. The only jarring thing is the distracting video advertising along the boundary fence. Can make it hard to see players, especially at night.

  • Gary Winder

As good as I have seen it in years . I supported Norwood for years ,had a beer with Macca. Car park ,lm a support worker and we walked a fair way. Some business's could open their parks for charity of course , companion cards for show if needed .

  • James Innes

Best Suburban Oval by a mile.Full of great memories.The spirit of past champions is almost palpable.Dissapointed by the new development as I always wanted it to stay as it was. Not a realistic view I realise progress must occur ..Great Place .

  • Harry Peterson

Came here to watch a local football game. It's a nice place with a variety of areas to sit or stand. A few places for food and beverages with over the top pricing. Better to byo, but there are plenty of alcohol outlets if your prepared to

  • Matthew Baynes

Great experience at Norwood oval /Coppers Stadium Norwood - they new bars and facility is probably the best suburban ground I've seen - state of the art for a local ground- great atmosphere to watch football at

  • John McKay

Worst SANFL oval in Adelaide. Too narrow. Lousey parking. Main stand is not on western side but in the pocket and behind the goal posts. Guess you can not expect any more from a club like Norwood.

  • Kym Pitcher

I had a fantastic day at Norwood football oval,Cooper's stadium the only problem was that they should improve Thier P.A./ sound system as it is hard to understand the announcer and his commentary

  • Thuan Ngo

We were there to watch the female AFL, Adelaide Crows vs Brisbane Lion. 11000 people were there and only 3 portaloos . Not a pleasant experience when you little boy need queue up....

  • Theresa Rees

After walking half way around the oval to get to a bar that sold Smirnoff Ice then to be given captain Morgan PLEASE Norwood football club put on RSA's that know their alcohol.

  • Luke Liverton

Worst place I have ever been to watch AFLW. Terrible security staff rude disrespectful. No disability access to the grand stand. No consideration for elderly patrons.

  • Kym Andrew Pitcher

The atmosphere is electric the staff are exceptional the grounds are clean you even get more hot chips for your buck than at other grounds a great place to be

  • Mr Wicked

Great boutique oval but you have to wait 25mins if you order hot chips by which time your drink will be hot capacity 11000 so get earlier as not many seats

  • Bruce Magrath

Home of the Mighty Redlegs(sanfl). Steeped in tradition crossed with family flavor. Must watch home game when you visit The Parade .Street parking only.

  • Evan Karras

Great local oval with lots of play areas for the kids and amenities everywhere. Good clean toilets and family areas away from the booze drinking yobbos

  • Tyrone Brown

Because i support norwood and my oldest daughter got to play for norwood girls team 10 to 12 yr olds and scored her 1st point not bad go the leggies

  • Richard Shaw

Lovely Oval. Old time charm with lots of covered seating and standing sitting on steps area. Lines for food and drink during a game not so good

  • See it

Beautiful old buildings. I love these grounds. A variety of grandstand seating or up on the lawn. A great oval to take the kids to watch footy.

  • Steven Sarantis

Older style ground. Convenient to main shops area. Not a large variety of food options inside the venue but externally there’s plenty around.

  • Stephanie Dempsey

Shouldn't have events on Saturday evenings. Absolute nightmare to get parking and doesn't have adequate public transport as an alternative

  • Troy Williams

The best football club there is. A very well presented oval with all the facilities needed, easy access for all, and very helpful staff.

Norwood Oval has excellent family- friendly match day facilities and a stunning clubrooms restaurant and bar. Highly recommended.

Beautiful oval, but not a great viewing ground, because of all the old heritage architecture, a lot of posts block the action.

  • James Brittan

Overall pretty good Oval, turf is pretty nice although slightly spongey and the change rooms do what they need to do.

  • Ken Slager

AFLW crowded, standing only on worn out terraces. Crowd booing the opposition off the ground at half time. Terrible.

  • Helen Bartolo

..Good Experience!! ... Sorry Crows Girls... Not a good game. Yes I would return to see other matches …

Oval was in great condition. No shade to speak of for the people in the outer. Amenities weren't up to scratch.

Go the legs! Nothing beats SANFL footy and having a kick on the Oval with the kids during the quarter breaks.

  • Allan Byrne

No where near enough food and drink stalls open for a very hot day. At least the footy was a high standard.

  • Tracey Smallwood

Food was horrid microwave pies and pasties not even hot. They put prices up for substandard overpriced food

  • Pam Robertson

Absolutely freezing there and don't sit in the front row of the stand as the fence is right on eye level.

  • Michael K

An old Adelaide stadium a bit passed its used by date, but a part of the Norwood football clubs past.
