Imagine 27,479 crammed into a suburban ground
Highest attendance at a suburban oval is 24,000 at Unley oval against Norwood in 1924. However with the modifications to Unley oval you couldn't get anywhere tear that nowadays.
Oval capacity and highest attendance and opposing team) in brackets are as follows
Elizabeth oval 18,000 (26,000 PA)
Woodville oval 15,000 (11,026 PA)
Norwood oval 22,000 (20,280 PA)
Glenelg oval 14,000 (17,171) Sturt)
Unley 10,000* (24,000 Norwood) * max attendance probably with current spectator areas)
Noarlunga oval 12,000 (10,000 Glenelg)
Richmond oval 16,500 (15,742 Glenelg)
Alberton oval 15,000 (22,738 Norwood)
Thebarton oval 15,000 (20,832 Norwood)
Prospect oval 20,000 )19,137 PA)
With current OH&S restrictions, its unlikely that there will be attendances above the capacity of ovals.
