Alberton Oval

Alberton Oval

Alberton Oval is located on Queen St, Alberton. The ground is primarily used for Australian rules football and has a capacity of 15,000 people with seated grandstands holding 2,000 (the RB Quinn and the Fos Williams Stands). The record crowd for Alberton is 22,738 for a 1977 SANFL match between Port Adelaide and Norwood.

Alberton Oval is the training and administration base for the Port Adelaide Football Club. It is also referred to as the 'spiritual home' of the Power, [http://portadelaidefc.com.au/TheClub/tabid/7674/Default.aspx] because AAMI Stadium became its official home ground upon entry into the AFL.

The oval also hosts matches for the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club in the local SANFL competition.

The Allan Scott Power Headquarters stands adjacent to the oval. So too does the Port Club, a social venue for Port Adelaide Magpies and Port Adelaide Power supporters and players.

Alberton Oval has a long history. On May 15, 1880 the Port Adelaide Magpies played its first match on the ground. Many notable players from the Port Adelaide Magpies and Port Adelaide Power have played matches on Alberton Oval, including Russell Ebert.
