In 2024 the ground was re-named Magain Stadium as part of a ten-year sponsorship deal with Magain Real Estate. South Adelaide decided to move to the southern suburb of Noarlunga in the early 1990s, after 111 years (1882-1903 and 1904-1994) of playing home games at the Adelaide Oval, located on the northern side of the Adelaide city centre and the Torrens River. The club played two games at the Bice Oval in Christies Beach (approximately 1.5 km from Noarlunga Oval) in 1992 and 1993 to gauge support in the area for the club. An overflow crowd of approximately 8,000 fans occupied Bice Oval in 1993 to see the Panthers' match against the Glenelg Tigers. The level of community support was a determining factor in South Adelaide's decision to permanently move to Noarlunga, becoming a community based club for the first time in its then 119-year history. The Panthers' clubrooms and administration offices, previously located on South Road at St Marys (opposite the then Mitsubishi Motors factory at Tonsley Park), were also relocated to the Noarlunga Oval.
