Adelaide United is delighted to announce it has revamped the matchday experience for supporters with the introduction of a Fans’ Village at Coopers Stadium for the Hyundai A-League 2018/19 season.
The Fans’ Village will be located next to IGA Family Park or behind the Aurelio Vidmar (Southern) Stand for all supporters to attend when gates open.
Surrounded by white picket fencing, and accompanied by music, the area will be lit up with festoon lighting to enhance the festival of football atmosphere.
Three food trucks will be within the vicinity of the village along with a PIMM’s bar marquee and Coopers Bar, accompanied with barrels and umbrellas scattered around the precinct for fans to congregate while talking about the upcoming game.
New Stadium Merchandise outlet
Thanks to Adelaide Venue Management and Coopers Stadium, we have created a new merchandise outlet located in the Western Grandstand for Reserved Ticket Holders and Members, adjacent from the Coopers 1862 Bar and near the corporate entry.
The new store will open when gates open until after the match, allowing access for general admission ticket holders as well.
Moreover, there will be a merchandise van pre-game on Manton Street, as well as a merchandise marquee inside the Manton Street entrance behind the Eastern Stand, while there will be a marquee inside the Holden Street entrance.
