Hindmarsh Stadium

No matter how many injuries this sport has caused me, I still love my soccer and these days I am more than happy to sit down and watch a game rather than play it (a broken arm was the last straw).
As most people already know, Hindmarsh Stadium is an Olympic standard venue that remains home to Adelaide United. It’s also an enjoyable locus for spectators to utilise whilst sitting alongside patriotic members.
The regulars do their best to create a Football scene more commonly found overseas, however there is only so much they can/​are allowed to do. Having said this, the occasional flare will be successfully unleashed. Go you Reds! I’m not actually that vocal when it comes to games, nor am I overly patriotic, however I do appreciate the enthusiasm evident in a vocal crowd.
Hindmarsh Stadium also has big screens, a decent grand stand, suave member areas, merchandise tents, and an efficient canteen. I have good memories here stemming all the way back from High School. Back then I was usually found roaming the stadium with friends during half time, thus probably more concerned about boys than the game itself (girls will be girls). In my later years however, I definitely found greater appreciation for the games themselves rather than the boys.
Lastly it does often get cold here, and so I would suggest rugging up for a chilly evening. Also make sure you don’t mind a long walk back to the car and get your tickets early. You don’t want to miss out!

Not that I am biased or anything (I’m a soccer fanatic), but this is without a doubt one of the best purpose built soccer stadiums in Australia.
The grass is immaculate, the seating is adequate for the crowd size, the facilities are up there and the atmosphere on game day is electric.
Hindmarsh is the home of Adelaide United (my faithful team) and their devoted fans fill the stadium on home matches.
Most seating is allocated by ticket number, with the red army cheersquad sitting behind the northern end goals.
The food and bar facilities are fair good and reasonably priced, with a range of gourmet options available behind the east stand.
I have played here a couple of times in cup finals with my team, and it is such an honor and feels so special.
Definitely recommend anyone who wants to catch some soccer, visit hindmarsh on a Friday night home game during summer.
