One cover was the
1990 Melbourne Metropolis Cover with a
MCG Stand

The
first Adelaide Crows match at Football Park was commemorated by an overprinted
Postage Prepaid Envelope (PPE). A PPE differs from a PSE (Pre-Stamped Envelope)
in that it has no value on the stamp area. They are valid for use without
additional postage even if the postal rate changes in the future.
Above is printed the original PPE. It was
modified in 1997 with
better graphics. |

The
first Port Power match at Football Park was commemorated by a specially designed
cover by Havilah Enterprises of which only 50 were produced.
In 2002 Football Park changed its name to
AAMI Stadium
"The home of SA Football". A Commemorative
Cover
was released by Coversplease
on 2nd September 2002.
First Class Collectables released three covers showing
Football Park,
Stuart Dew
and
Andrew McLeod.
