The Adelaide Football Club can today confirm and reveal the final designs for the new facility project set for Thebarton Oval.

With inspiration gleaned from international teams such as the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers, along with other AFL clubs, the two-storey, 150-metre long building will wrap around Thebarton Oval in Adelaide’s west. 

A cafe and Members’ Lounge will provide all-day casual dining and drinks and include both indoor and outdoor seating.

A dedicated function centre will feature prime viewing of the oval while an integrated and interactive museum throughout the front foyer will offer a trip down memory lane for dedicated Crows fans and Members.

Both indoor and outdoor training facilities will also have dedicated vantage points for facility guests to view AFL and AFLW training. 

Crows Chairman John Olsen said the Club was excited to embark on the next phase of the journey.

“We’ve had our share of challenges however, we are now embarking on a really exciting phase where we can start to bring to life what has been years in the making,” Olsen said.

“It’s fair to say perseverance has paid off - we have a long-term lease and recently received the green light from the state planning authority.

“In a very competitive league structured around equalisation measures, having a state-of-the-art facility is a way to create legitimate high performance advantages for our players and coaches.

“It will be a place which our members and supporters, and everyone associated with our club, can talk about and visit and feel genuinely proud. Most importantly, it will be somewhere we can all come together – a place for us to call home.

“We are building a home befitting of the biggest sporting club in the state.”

Work is expected to commence on the site towards the end of the year.
