Adelaide Oval will welcome a capacity crowd from early next month following a further relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions.
The change to apply from May 8 will allow for a full house of more than 50,000 fans at the next AFL showdown between Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows.
Some requirements for mask use will still apply.
South Australia has also reported nine new coronavirus cases on Thursday, all in recent overseas arrivals.
Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the rising number of active infections being handled in SA had her "on edge".
She said officials were monitoring the capacity of Adelaide's Tom's Court hotel facility which is being used to house all returned travellers who test positive.
"We feel we're getting near capacity in terms of our concerns around safety," she said.
