Adelaide Bite
Stadium Journey Review:
It is also known as Coopers Stadium (Coopers is Australia's largest brewery and is based just outside Adelaide). The venue is shared with the Redlegs, a team of the South Australian National Football League. There is a bus stop directly at the stadium (almost behind from where this photo was taken).
Do note the beautiful jacaranda trees beyond the right field foul area.

Here's the entranceway to Norwood Oval. The stadium opened in 1951.
Under the third base seating area, there is a bar that serves adult beverages. Even better, it displays all kinds of trophies, plaques, and photos of historical teams and moments (most - maybe all - are not related to the Bite). If you're into looking at historical items, this is a place to visit when attending a game.
Norwood Oval is designed for football. For the baseball season, the Bite has to build up the pitcher’s mound and place dirt for the bases in the oval. They put in temporary dugouts and bullpens, as well as foul poles and outfield walls. There is no dirt between the bases, just grass. The stadium arrangement is awkward as a baseball field.
This is down the first base side. You can see the temporary dugout and bullpen. The seating must be something for the football games.
