Fans will get an enhanced match-day experience, with the installation of two large video replay screens and several smaller ones dotted around the stadium's seven bars.
Tourism Minister Zoe Bettison says it means spectators won't miss a moment of the action, even while grabbing refreshments.
The stadium will also introduce safe standing zones at the northern end, where seats will be locked upright during A-League matches.
Adelaide United will begin training on the new surface in two weeks, preparing for the season opener next month.
