They have usage rights - I don’t agree with their decision but it’s entirely within their usage rights to block the event.
Yep- come March, footy is boss.
I like the Sheffield Shield but it is very much an ‘off Broadway’ event compared to the AFL juggernaut.

South Australia will host Queensland in the Sheffield Shield final at Adelaide’s Karen Rolton Oval starting March 26. The two teams played out a draw at the same venue yesterday in their final group game.
Meanwhile in Perth, Victoria beat triple defending champions WA by 34 runs, with Peter Siddle claiming the home team’s final wicket, finishing on 798 first-class wickets. WA’s loss has meant they will fall to the bottom of the ladder to finish the season, the first time they have finished at the foot of the Shield table since 1963-64.
