Part of Adelaide Oval is being reopened for a Sheffield Shield game this week.
The Stadium Management Authority has opened the first stage of the redeveloped oval, where South Australia will play Tasmania from Tuesday.
The Oval's northern mound has been transformed as part of the $535 million redevelopment and has now decking shaded by Moreton Bay fig trees.
The Authority said there would be enough room for 2,800 seated and 3,500 standing spectators.
Authority CEO Andrew Daniels believed the heritage value of the oval had not been compromised by the work done: "To effectively extend the hill out and around these famous Moreton Bays, to really bring the famous scoreboard even more into play into this Adelaide Oval and also to have people have the opportunity to have this sort of chill-out area up here on top of the hill looking out over these beautiful trees and the Adelaide parklands."
