No it doesn't - and that Sydney ARL you're referring to is called the NRL, has played a match at Adelaide Oval over the past couple of seasons, and is bringing a State of Origin match to Adelaide Oval for next year.claybro wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:37 pmTBH though, when viewing AFL on TV, it looks more like a suburban Sydney ARL ground with the northern mound. Its probably great for the cricket spectators (it is after all a cricket ground) but as the main showcase stadium for Adelaide, it does look a little unfinished. The hotel will not have any impact for spectators, TV viewers nor ruin the looks from the air. I do agree though, that if the finish is not to a high standard ie reflective or heavily tinted glass, it could diminish the appearance from the eastern approach. All things equal, I don't believe it is the train wreck it is being made out to be.
It has been used for cricket and footy since the 1870's.claybro wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:37 pmTBH though, when viewing AFL on TV, it looks more like a suburban Sydney ARL ground with the northern mound.

It also can't be over emphasized how fantastic the stadium looks as you fly into Adelaide airport when it's in use.
History has shown, if you want to stop something from happening, you get as many politicians involved as possible (local, state and federal) involved and you get them bickering with each other on every level. Once this has happened, you can be sure it won’t happen.The Federal Government could get dragged into the battle over a proposed hotel at the Adelaide Oval, with the City Council looking into whether it affects the National Heritage listing of the parklands.
The council will tonight discuss if it can refer the proposal for a $42 million hotel on the eastern side of the stadium to the Federal Government — under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
It would be argued the hotel adversely affects the 2008 decision to formally list the parklands and the Adelaide city layout as National Heritage Places.
If accepted by Federal Environment Minister Melissa Price, it would kick off a range of environmental assessments about its potential impact on the parklands and surrounds.
This could potentially delay the construction of the hotel and even make the project require a whole new set of approvals to go ahead.
Cr Robert Simms will put the proposal to refer the hotel to the Federal Government at tonight’s council meeting.
He said the impact on National Heritage listing needed to be examined.
“In 2008 the Federal Government entered the Adelaide Parklands into the Australian Heritage List in recognition of the fact that the parklands are of enormous value not just to South Australia but to the entire country,” Cr Simms said.
“Anything that jeopardises this status should not be getting the green light.”
Lord Mayor Sandy Verschoor said it could be one of a series of options.
“Council’s concern is that the proposed development does not meet community expectations of the beloved Oval or our iconic parklands, and we will consider any avenue to prevent it,” Ms Verschoor said.
Park Lands Authority member Stephanie Johnston, who raised the questions about whether it could be referred to the Federal Government, said an assessment of the impacts should be undertaken and the action led by the council.
A Stadium Management Authority spokesman said the proposal was being developed in accordance “with all relevant laws”.
“Council members have made their opposition to this innovative project abundantly clear, not even responding to our offer of a detailed briefing in early December,” he said.

I'm sick and tired of the racism, and sick and tired of the harassment and trolling from Nort and\ HiTouch which despite him being banned for two weeks continues today. I've even received another PM from him with harassment/trolling.
