The Crows will play four games under lights at Adelaide Oval in Season 2015.
The Club will celebrate its 25th season in a Thursday night blockbuster against reigning premiers Hawthorn at home in Round 12. The showpiece game in Round 12 is against the club the Crows first played in its inaugural 1991 season.
The Crows hosted the first-ever ‘Thursday Night Lights’ at Adelaide Oval in Round Nine last season, recording a memorable win over Collingwood in Taylor Walker’s comeback game. The atmosphere was electric and contributed to ‘siren gate’, with the vocal crowd drowning out the siren.

Adelaide will play Richmond at home in a big Friday night fixture in Round 19, which will mark Multicultural Round.
The Crows will also host Saturday night games against 2014 Preliminary Finalists Fremantle in Indigenous Round (Round Nine) and a new-look Brisbane Lions (Round 21). It will be only the second time Adelaide has played at home in Indigenous Round. The first time was this season when the Crows beat Gold Coast wearing a guernsey specially designed by AFL legend Andrew McLeod.
The other themed rounds and occasions of note are Opening Round/Easter (Round One), ANZAC Round (Round Four), Mother’s Day Sunday (Round Six), Queens Birthday Monday (Round 10), Bye Rounds (11-13) and Multicultural Round (19).
Adelaide has six games in the Saturday afternoon timeslot – three at home and three away. This includes a clash with Carlton in the Club’s only game at the MCG in Round 10.
The Crows have a total of six Sunday games (four home and two away), including one in the early timeslot and two twilight matches. One of the Sunday twilight fixtures is a ‘home’ Showdown in Round Five. The Club will play four Saturday twilight games, but none at Adelaide Oval.
In summary, Adelaide has 13 matches Saturday games and six on Sundays, with one each on Thursday and Friday. The Club’s remaining game, in Round 23, is part of a floating fixture.
The Crows have a bye in Round 11 leading into the Thursday night clash with Hawthorn. There is only one bye per club this season as a result of the delayed start to the Premiership Season because of the Cricket World Cup.
