Events and Usage
The Super-Drome has hosted international events and has been used as a training base for teams competing in Michael Turtur's Tour Down Under which is run annually in Adelaide and the surrounding countryside since 1999. The Super-Drome was also the site of the 2011 Oceania Track Championships.
It is a popular destination for international track cycling teams looking for a unique environment for a training camp prior to competitions in Adelaide and other States in Australia.
On many weeknights the Super-Drome is the venue for the South Australian Futsal League, where all matches are played.
Facilities
The indoor velodrome is a 250m international standard timber track made from specially specified Nordic Pine with 43° banking in the turns, constructed under the supervision of British velodrome specialist Ron Webb, while 3,000 spectators are accommodated in fixed tiered seating.[4] On the upper level there is a large corporate function room with catering and bar facilities which has excellent views over the track. On this level there is a separate equipped media room.
In the centre of the cycling track is a multipurpose concrete floor used for various sports which once had a swimming pool set up on the tracks infield as part of a triathlon course.
It is the location for the headquarters and office of Cycling South Australia.
