Coopers Stadium is pleased to introduce a dedicated safe standing active supporters’ area, available as general admission from the A-Leagues’ 2024/25 season onwards.

Developed in consultation with Adelaide United and the Red Army supporters’ group, the safe standing zone will comprise two bays behind the Stadium’s northern goals (N13 and N14). This zone supports the Red Army supporters’ group, who seek a safe and acceptable environment to stand and cheer, generating maximum atmosphere and vibrancy for home games.

Rails have been installed in these designated bays, and seats within this zone will be locked to form temporary terraces for A-Leagues games.

The safe standing bays will be readjusted (i.e., seats unlocked) for other events at the Stadium, such as music concerts.

Adelaide United ‘Red Membership’ includes General Admission access to the North stand and will allow members to take up a position in the safe standing sections N13 and N14.

Fans also interested in watching the game from the safe standing zone (N13 and N14) must purchase a General Admission – North ticket.

General admission in this area is on a first come, first served basis, so we highly recommend arriving at the Stadium early if the intention is to watch the game from the safe standing zone.

Coopers Stadium’s safe standing zone comprises two bays behind the northern goals – N13 and N14. In total, this includes standing spaces for 318 fans.  

Each fan with a General Admission – North ticket is allocated space equivalent of one seat. General admission in this area is on a first come, first served basis, so we highly recommend arriving at the Stadium early if the intention is to watch the game from the safe standing zone.

Stadium management and security will be closely monitoring the safe standing bays to ensure capacity is not exceeded.

There remains a large, seated area with prime viewing from the Northern Stand for fans who do not wish to stand.

The 318 sets dedicated to safe standing represents just 2 percent of total Stadium capacity.
