Since it was built, Football Park has had many additions including light towers, corporate boxes, a super video screen, the new northern grandstand, and most recently replacing the bench seats with new bucket seating. The stadium is all-seated with a capacity of 51,300, about 6.5% of the population of the entire city of Adelaide. However, the record attendance stands at 66,897 for the 1976 SANFL Grand Final (Sturt v Port Adelaide), when there was standing room terracing in the outer.
