There is something odd (some sort of construction) going on behind the Northern mound. Not sure what. Was already in the car and leaving the oval when I noticed, snappy pictures from 15Jun2012) on the way.

Again, starting at the Northern Mound, just outside the gates and working my view Southwards. Next time I will spend a bit more time on this Northern Mound construction now that I know its there:

New facilities like toilets and eateries.

Looks like good progress here, the Bradman stand seems to be completely gone now!

looks like the existing score/replay screen will be retained. Hopefully some hi-res 21st century technology gets installed in the frame - the images are very grainy at the moment.

From the AO redevelopment website:
The atmosphere inside a redeveloped Adelaide Oval will be something to savour, with a high-quality audio system delivering quality sound throughout. The designs include three replay screens - one located between the Southern and Western stands, another between the Southern and Eastern stands and also adjacent to the heritage scoreboard - so fans won't miss a thing. It's anticipated that the screens will be 150 and 200 square metres respectively, which will make them bigger than the screens at the MCG.

Hi Wayno, i reckon a new screen will be built at the northern end. The latest update states piling has commenced at northern end for new screen. Check it out here: http://www.infrastructure.sa.gov.au/__d ... e_2012.pdf

The placement of the first crane directly behind the memorial drive grandstand looks as though its for the new indoor facility near the members stand and also for one end of the new southern stand. looks like it will be 2 x cranes for the southern stand.

Yeah, thanks for the updates Kasey. This is probably the Adelaide development I'm most interested in so they're really appreciated.

No worries at all guys, I'm a massive stadium nerd so this is my number 1 concern for updates at the minute. Northern mound by September 2012 should mean they are getting a motor on over the next month:)
