You may have previously known this as Noarlunga Oval but it was renamed in 2005 to honour former panther and successful property developer Alan Hickinbotham. However I wouldn't mind betting there was a big cash influx at the samt time as the place went through a big revamp and they also got brand new lighting on the oval for night games or training. It is the home to the Panthers!!!! aka South Adelaide Football Club.
I'm not really a football person but know plenty who would use it for this purpose. I would prefer to go here for a nice meal or a great family event which are often held here. Once we went to a Circus here in the school holidays and off football season. Recently they held a Xmas Carols event with fireworks at it's conclusion for a very minimal cost. They seem to a place that gives back to the community sometimes as well. Plenty of car parking available (although probably not on game days). The oval has the capacity to fit around 12,000 people.
The restaurant / bar / gaming area is known as Jimmy Deane's. They are open from 12 noon to 2:30pm for lunch and 5:30 to 8:30pm for dinner 7 days a week. They have a full function restaurant, TAB and Keno facilities, a pool table and a full bar. The gaming area has 40 poker machines and special promotions at different times on different days. Check their web site for details. The gaming area is open 7 days a week from 8am to 2am. They also have function rooms available and do weddings, 18th's, 21st's, formals, graduations, corporate packages, seminars, conferences, engagements, anniversaries, in fact they can cater for any special event at all. Check out the photo's on their website, it looks georgeous all done up. Great views too. They even do kids birthday parties and have meat raffles.
Check out the website as they have some great functions and events at both places that may or may not be football related. But will always be lots of fun. read more
