Been around the district comp a couple of years but I was just wondering where did Norwood used to play before Mars and where did Sturt used to play before Pasa ?

Bring back the old Bowden stadium (old school baby)
Athol Park unless you played on court 1 then it a crap house...2,3 and 4 dead and very loud
Elizabeth Stadium....yeah right...move on
Hilcrest is that joint still around? court 1 again was nice, sweet rings but has a few dead spots on the bar end. Court 2 well...it was crap as well
i play on every stadium because i play district b-ball for the eagles.
Hillcrest= pathetic liquid falls from ceiling. Supporters swear at you and players punch. Umpires favor the rockets. Bad stadium and people.
Marion= Another old factory that pathetic.
Wayville= The second best stadium, three courts, no bad spots, all glass backboards, great nets, dunkable soft rims, the best in SA.
Pasadena= Some of the court and backboards are ducktaped court 2+3 bad.
Starplex= The best. Airconditioning, new glass backbourds, 4-6 courts all dunkable rims, court is in perfect condition just home to the worst district team ever!
Mitsubishi Stadium (Port Adelaide)= the wood on the court is huge! old factory pathetic nets. Probably the best of all the factories though. (Marion, Hillcrest)
Marsden= bad. Home of Torrensvalley Cougers and abit of norwood,

Athol park was fine, the was a couple of little problems i.e car park and maybe a coulpe of dead spots, maybe needed spring loaded rims. all very fixable. had potential of being an 8 court satdium when it was sold. would have been SA's dandenong. BASA couldnt see that clearly...by the waystill waiting on that new stadium basa?? any ideas

what did happen to Athol Park? Has it been demolished or is it still standing?
something needs to be done between basa . councils and gov re getting better quality stadiums
some lesser organizations live a lot more comfortably
agreed, just one trip over to albury/wodonga and you'll see how poor the stadiums are in adelaide.

what the hell is your problem this is about the stadiums not the friggen people at the clubs how the f*** can you call the people at north bad there are a hell of a lot worse out there and clearly the refs always favour the home side (if any) and i beleive you forgot some stadiums eg the dome, mt barker, mars
North is probably the only stadium that the refs do not favour the home team. Unlike some other stadiums i which i will not name

Hey Hillcrest isnt that bad and i am real picky with courts. ill admitt court 2 is crap and we no it but that has nothing to do with the players. Wat div do u play it is probly just a low div and thats y its bad against clubs lyk north cause we hav sucha large no. of players.

Driving to Port Adelaide one time about 3 years ago I stopped by Athol Park to check it out - looks like the whole thing is being used for storage now.

athol park is a storage for a trucking company. Ah the good old day. Basketball up one end tennis down the other. West and Woodville sharing the one Stadium. The bar up the top. The video game double dragon to next to the canteen. The only problem was when it rained was the swimming ools on crt 3 & 4. Many a friday nite or Sat morn travelling out there only to find out games cancelled cause of the rain. lol
have you ever played at North with the umpires and players? i have
i totally agree, some stadiums are terrible,
i play for north and i know that some umpires look like they favor
The refs at Hillcrest don't favour North.....you have to be a North player to say that absolute crap. Besides Mars, Hillcrest is the most biased stadium by a country mile
North teams are like cheap suit because of the ref's at Hillcrest.
They don't travel well.
When ever they play at anoter stadium or interstate they lose and can't understand why the ref's are calling fouls on them.
