Mark Ricciuto has again weighed into the stadium debate, saying the conditions at AAMI Stadium on Saturday proved why South Australia needs a stadium with a roof.
A Wet AAMI Stadium

In his weekly video segment with AdelaideNow, Ricciuto described the plan to redevelop Adelaide Oval as "half baked" and said more people would be willing to attend games if they were not subject to the weather.

A record-low crowd of 16,694 huddled under grandstand roofs at AAMI Stadium to watch Port Adelaide lose to Richmond by 47 points in the wind and rain. "That was the wettest occasion I have ever seen at AAMI stadium, there was so much water on the ground," he said. "We need a roof over a stadium. "We could have had 30,000 people there on the weekend instead of 16,000.

"Perhaps they need to factor all the lost attendances and the money that could be made out of having more people there every week into the equation.

"So lets get the roof over the stadium no the half baked job at Adelaide Oval."
