Great video and seeing my favourite machine was on site the PC 1250 aka (Jaws) working it's magic all the high reach while the other excavators demolish other buildings and clear and sort rubble and recyclable items. We done to McMahon services done a absolutely fantastic with the demolition work.
It's just a shame more time couldn't be taken to salvage all the seats to go to more local clubs. Though some were salvaged, demand far outweighed the supply & it would have been a great legacy for the 'old' Adelaide Oval.
Such a waste of money for the South Australian Government! They already had a good stadium at West Lakes, then they had to go and spend 600M to do this to Adelaide Oval, and the public transport in the city can't cope with influx of people into the new Adelaide Oval before and after each AFL game there!
John Jerram they did it because it was near the City and would get more fans to go to games more Footy park had no Transportation except Buses Adelaide Oval has Trams,Trains and buses etc But I reckon port should’ve stayed at Footy park because it is near Port Adelaide
@@zaco21_ Im from melbourne and went to adelaide last year to watch hawks v crows and the public transport was crap. yes there was trains, buses and trams but it couldn't take the influx of people.
ferret406 Fuck off its now one of the best Venues in Australia So would rather stay it as a Stadium that will have been on the bottom of the AFL venue list. Besides Crows and Port moved because it was closer to the city, even know port should’ve stayed there because it’s near Port Adelaide anyway
High precision History Destroyer!
Although it's sad to see it go i will definately enjoy getting home in 15 minutes from a game rather then 2 hours.
1pd true
wow ~ fantastic vid ~ congrats McMahon!

Sad to see the old Adelaide Oval go
Also this is gonna be Ports new home ground as well.
Kyri Tsavaridis Music yeah Port should’ve stayed at Footy park because it’s near Port Adelaide
@@zaco21_ I was in Adelaide for a week and had a look at the football park site and thought the same thing, yet the crows use it for training.
(Sarcasm) Why didn't they fly a jet aircraft into it and it would have fallen down from the heat of kerosene-based-jet fuel?
Wow
Cool video...except for the music
I always considered that the Bradman stand looked old and knocking it down and building a new one was better.
It looks great now, but don’t understand why they had to demolish so much of what the original was , it wasn’t that baf
Oooonoooooooooooo wow
They shouldn't have re done it. The oval looked perfect with the Sir Donald Bradman Stand, and the Chappell stands. Adelaide Oval looks shit now.
Kyri Tsavaridis Music meh doesn’t really
9 commentary brought me here :)

Also stop living in the 80s it’s not fucking 1987 mate, get over ur self not everything is gonna stay the same all the time things get old

Master Blaster Coming from a Victorian, always picky and ignorant
They should knock down the old scoreboards too. It'd be better having the whole stadium nice and even, and not one end half-done.
Flame Lad why.... so u really hate the Ovals history?
Why would they get rid of the old scoreboard
Fucking Dumbass
Zaco21_ agreed. The old scoreboard is what keeps the old heratige. You can go get a life if you want that gone!
@@zaco21_ I made that comment 8 years ago before ever going to a game there. Pull your head in.
@@Oliver-lc2en same goes to you.
Fyi I run the hill (at least when we were allowed on it), come say gday r1 if you want. We stand at the back behind goals.
Old scoreboard need to go or move over to nearby next small oval. Old scoreboard is so embarrassed.
Wezilla you shouldn’t be embarrassed about that score board it is a famous Adelaide oval icon ik ik ik this is 6 years late but 😂🤦♂️
Lol that’s to right
Utter disgrace - State Govt. sold our pine forests to do up a sports ground

Seat the hill
Nah
Yert2 Dirt yeet
Yeet
No. That would ruin the look of the heritage scoreboard.
