The Adelaide Oval Climbs To New Heights, Literally

Forgot the Sydney Harbour Bridge, now you will be able to climb our Adelaide Oval!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge, pfff, we have the Adelaide Oval! In a recent announcement from Stadium Management Authority comes what may just be the biggest new tourism initiative for South Australia.

Already internationally recognised for its design and architecture, the Oval has played a key role in growing Adelaide’s desirability as a tourist destination. It is one of our favourite Adelaide buildings. With its stunning good looks, amazing setting and surroundings, obviously amazing food and then there are all the awesome events it holds. The Adelaide Oval really is one cool kid.

But now there is another thing to add to the list with RoofClimb Adelaide Oval (and you could win a double gift card to get the experience. Keep reading to find out how).

Basically it involves the rather obvious, a breath-taking climb adventure that will take us to the very top of Adelaide’s famous icon.

Both the Western and Riverbank stands which are now connected by a new bridge high above the oval, will be a part of the climbing adventure. With both day and night climbing experiences, this really will be something special. Adelaide is so pretty during the day, and then, at night when she lights up… Just wow! We can’t wait to experience that from high above.

With the project set to officially open in March 2016, we have it added to our list of ‘must dos’ in Adelaide!

“This is a tremendously exciting initiative, and one that we believe will elevate the Adelaide Oval and South Australia even further in the national and international tourism consciousness,” said John Olsen, Adelaide Oval SMA Chairman.

“This is a significant investment by the SMA (SACA and SANFL), but we have undertaken a great deal of research and modelling that shows there is enormous demand for an experience like this in Adelaide. We have examined other similar operations such as Up at the O2 in London and Etihad Skyline at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, to ensure RoofClimb Adelaide Oval will provide one of the most amazing experiences in the world.

“Around 2.5 million people have come through the Adelaide Oval’s gates since its redevelopment; now, we’re going to offer people the chance to literally take their Oval experience to new heights.

“This will be something you will want to share with your friends, your loved ones – something you’ll want to tell the grandkids – that you climbed the famous Adelaide Oval.”

Bring it on!
