Spectator Sports

Cricket -- The Adelaide Oval (tel. 08/8300 3800), on the corner of War Memorial Drive and King William Street, is the venue for international matches during the summer season. The Institute Building, part of the State Library of S.A., displays the Don Bradman Collection (tel. 08/8207 7595). The cricket legend died in Adelaide in 2001.

Football -- Unlike New South Wales, where Rugby League is the most popular winter sport, in Adelaide you'll find plenty of Australian Rules fanatics. Games are usually played on Saturday at the Adelaide Oval or at Football Park (tel. 08/8268 2088), Turner Drive, West Lakes. The home teams are the Adelaide Crows and the Port Adelaide Power. Games are played February through October, with the finals in September and October. Tickets must be purchased well in advance from BASS (tel. 13 12 46 in South Australia, or 08/8400 2205).
