Hindmarsh Stadium, Association football stadium in Hindmarsh, Australia
Hindmarsh Stadium is a rectangular soccer ground in the Adelaide suburb of Hindmarsh, with a capacity of 16,500 of whom 15,000 are seated. A single-tier grandstand with a flat roof on thin columns runs the length of one side, with uncovered seating opposite and four floodlight towers at the corners. Coopers Brewery has held the naming rights since 2010.
The stadium opened in 1960 and became the centre for professional football in Adelaide. Major renovations took place before the 2000 Olympic Games and the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The stadium has been Adelaide United FC's home ground since the club's foundation and draws thousands of fans from across South Australia for regular matches. The games shape the local sports culture and bring the community together around the sport.
The ground lies in Hindmarsh, about 5 km west of central Adelaide, on the site of the old Hindmarsh Oval. The 2000 rebuild seated the former terracing as uncovered stands, leaving the single-tier grandstand from 1960 as the only covered seating; four floodlight masts stand at the corners. The pitch was lengthened from 110 to 120 metres for rugby use.
The ground achieved its attendance record of around 18,400 spectators during a football match at the 2000 Olympic Games. This moment remains a highlight in the site's sporting history.
