The Drive Adelaide is a modern multi-purpose arena combining international tennis, concerts and other major events in one adaptable venue. The complex is distinguished by its open-air design and large canopy above the main event space, while contemporary grandstands complement preserved elements of the former Memorial Drive venue. It is the home of Tennis SA and, depending on the event configuration, can accommodate approximately 6,800 visitors.
Inside, the emphasis is on clear views of the court or stage and a close connection to the action. Covered grandstands provide shelter for much of the audience while the open sides retain the atmosphere of an outdoor venue. The upgraded complex includes connected stands and concourse areas, food and beverage facilities, restrooms, premium spaces and flexible event areas, allowing the venue to be configured for sporting competitions, concerts and other events.
The arena is located at War Memorial Dr, Adelaide, Australia, beside the River Torrens and immediately adjacent to Adelaide Oval. There is no on-site public parking; a practical option is the Riverbank Car Park at the Adelaide Convention Centre, followed by a short walk across the pedestrian footbridge to the venue. Taxi and rideshare drop-off zones serve the western entrance near the intersection of War Memorial Drive and Montefiore Road and the eastern entrance near King William Road.
