Hickinbotham Oval

Hickinbotham Oval is an Australian rules football oval in Noarlunga Downs, an outer-southern suburb of Adelaide. It has been the home of South Australian National Football League club South Adelaide Football Club since 1995. In 2018 the ground was re-named Flinders University Stadium, as part of a five-year sponsorship deal with Flinders University.After 111 years of playing their home games at the Adelaide Oval,, the Panthers decided to move to the southern suburb of Noarlunga in the early 1990s. The club had played two games at the Bice Oval in Christies Beach in 1992 and 1993 in order to gauge support in the area for the Panthers. Approximately 8,000 fans crammed into the oval in 1993 to see the Panthers take on the Glenelg Tigers. That level of community support was one of the determining factors in South Adelaide's decision to permanently move to Noarlunga, becoming a community based club for the first time in its then 119-year history.
