That's the rub: Rugby is maxed out with 5 teams (the dramas with the Force show even that is a bit too many), and Adelaide is way down the list for NRL expansion (after Brisbane II, Perth, Central Coast, Sunshine Coast and Wellington at the very least). And no other codes would be appropriate for such a stadium. So it's really just AUFC. 

I'd say it's other uses would have to be non-sport related, perhaps as part of the nearby convention centre. That's what the proposal from September pitched, shame we haven't heard any more from that.

spending dollars at hindmarsh is a waste of money no/negligible increase in capacity, location no good will just keep the public appeased we really need a proper solution in Adelaide (new cbd build) but that ain't going to happen as nobody in Adelaide football has the right contacts to the government support and funding ( i e football is of minor relevance and interest in sa )

How is the location no good (unless you mean the site itself)?  It's barely any further from the cbd than the SFS is from Central in Sydney yet people in Adelaide carry on like its half way to Perth.
