Radio Broadcast Facilities: 3
Catering: 4
Grandstand: 5

Re: SANFL Grounds
And in 1st place:
Richmond Oval/City Mazda Stadium
Scoring 12 points for catering, scoreboard, and ground size, and 10 for it's grandstand, Richmond Oval came out as the clear winner of our SANFL ground survey. While it came out clearly on top, it still scored 2 for accessibility (sorry R&B), and radio broadcast facilities, so there is room for improvement even for the best of SANFL grounds.

Re: SANFL Grounds
When assessing the grounds, the criteria was aimed at being as wide-ranging as possible - from the surface to the radio facilities. While the radio facilities are not necessarily what the patron at the ground looks at, they do play an important role at grounds to ensure that those that cannot get to the game (and that includes those that listen from country areas/interstate/overseas) can have access to a broadcast to the game. If these facilities are not up to scratch, then that impacts on the broadcaster's ability to promote our great league.

Re: SANFL Grounds
Bit harsh on Noarlunga with the catering.
Trying not to be bias but I think its pretty good.
Dont mind Richmond oval but Elizabeth is definately not top 3 IMO. I cant see one end to another!!! Its that bloody big!!
Agree Noarlunga with atmosphere though.

Re: SANFL Grounds
Bit surprised Norlunga only scored 1 for catering, i actually think they are very good..
Anyway, i'm sure that's my daughter in the photo (no 3 Trainer) at Norlunga.

Re: SANFL Grounds
Noarlungas club rooms are probably the best in sanfl, Norwood for seating and grandstands, catering would be Elizabeth, surface would be either alberton, unleash solar or prospect.

that isn't quite correct because you do not have to be a member to sit in a grandstand, you can actually purchase a ticket at every ground (not sure about Noarlunga though as i haven't tried too) & sit in a grandstand if you wish too, i'm happy to sit in the grandstand at Norwood behind the goals for free

Re: SANFL Grounds
Noarlunga's stand is free. There are parts reserved for South Season Ticket holders, officials etc, but about half of the stand would be free for anyone to use. Doesn't provide much protection from the elements though.
North provides 'token' (and that's putting it nicely) public grandstand seating, while Norwood provides limited public grandstand seating (but it's free, so you can't really complain when you're not paying for it), but generally speaking most grounds are pretty good when it comes to public access to grandstand seating.
For those that want to see how we assessed the grandstands in this thread, you can check them out on page 6, or via http://www.talkingfootysa.com/t109p75-sanfl-grounds

Re: SANFL Grounds
Just chiming in here late.
Richmond and Alberton are the best IMO. Alberton clearly has the best playing surface and Richmond for accesability and ammenities.
Woodville also pretty good on all counts, as is Noarlunga.
Prospect, might be the people who inhabit the place, but thats the pits for mine.
Elizabeth is ranked far too highly in this and Unley too low IMO, I quite like going to Unley.
Glenelg and Norwood just ahead of Prospect.
