Adelaide
Updated .
the local sports scene
Adelaide is the most parochial of Australia's capitals — two AFL clubs, one A-League side, and a cricket ground that still feels like a village green scaled up.
The local sports scene
The scene
Port Adelaide and Adelaide Crows split the city along port-versus-hills lines that survive every merger talk. Adelaide United carry the HAL flag at Coopers Stadium; the Strikers and Redbacks own the summer. Adelaide Oval is the most beautiful ground in the country and the fans act like they know it.
Rivalries that matter
Showdown — Port against Adelaide — is the AFL fixture that defines winter. United against Melbourne Victory is the HAL grudge that travels.
Where to watch
Port Adelaide pubs on Showdown eve; Hindley Street for United; the Hill on Test days at the Oval.
