The Coopers Stadium Upgrade enhances the matchday experience for attendees of world class events through significant upgrades to the Hindmarsh sporting and entertainment precinct. Delivered in partnership with Woods Bagot, the redevelopment of the Stadium involved the addition of the Eastern Stand’s 2,200m2 structural steel roof and new 220 seat corporate facility. Additional upgrades include new and refurbished media and corporate facilities, change rooms, the refurbishment of two and addition of three new lifts, 10 new or refurbished food and beverage outlets, kitchens, four new light towers and sports lighting throughout the Stadium roofing, two state of the art replay screens, LED pitch surround screens, merchandise, and turnstile facilities.

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the Eastern Stand corporate facility, a welcoming entrance with LED lit under croft steering guests towards the pitch. Once pitch side, the Eastern Stand bookends the existing Western grandstand, creating an elevated and intimate stadium atmosphere. Additionally, the function room boasts expansive structural spans and breathtaking views of the pitch and city.

Hansen Yuncken originally constructed the Western Grandstand in 1997 and delivered upgrades in 2015

The matchday experience is elevated with the installation of four new light towers with 82 LED lights, exceeding the FIFA World Cup standard at over 2,500 lux. Mounted speakers provide sound clarity throughout the boutique stadium, with two new broadcast screens, each over 100m2.
