It may be misleading, but Elizabef is nothing on the size of East Freo Oval. The biggest difference (even before the recent upgrades) for me is the lack of corporate/media facilities at SANFL grounds. Norwood seemed to be quite good, but the rest of them seemed fairly average and nowhere near as large and complete as WAFL grounds.Soaks wrote:Sounds like Leederville.Bloody massive ground but inadequate lighting for night footy.I remember the state game against SA when the ball was kicked out on the full and the SA commentator was suprised that could even happen on a ground of that size.yob wrote:That said there's some truly massive grounds in the league as well - Elizabeth being the biggest. They stopped night games there because the lights couldn't light up the area enough.
We now have electronic scoreboards and media facilities being upgraded, but at Prospect ABC just parked up the back of the stand, sat right in front of them. Was surreal.
