when did 'The Wayville Showgrounds' become 'The Adelaide Showgrounds' ?

also why was the name changed ?


apart from sponsorship to change names of venues (which i don't agree with but understand why they do it) i can't see the logic in it as it's been Wayville Showgrounds for as long as i can remember

Just doing some research then, it appears the proper name was always the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds, before becoming just the Adelaide Showgrounds, and says that people commonly called it Wayville Showgrounds, but was never an official name
