From The Advertiser Monday 16 May 1921:

Football Spectator Drops Dead
During the match between Port Adelaide and Glenelg on the Alberton Oval on Saturday afternoon Mr. Evan Thomas Morgan, of Dockville, Port Adelaide, fell dead. He was watching the game from one of the mounds in company with his son. The police removed the body to the morgue, and the by standers took charge of the boy. Mr Morgan was employed as a driver by Messrs. D. & J. Fowler.

Round 3 - First Home Match - 7 May 1921

Teams and Officials First Home Match
Sir Archibald Weigall, Governor of South Australia, started the first league football match played at Glenelg Oval by bouncing the ball, 21 May 1921. He opened the new stand on the same day. The league was then known as the South Australian Football League (SAFL), changing its name to the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1927.

Glenelg hosted North Adelaide, then playing in their hooped guernsey.

From the Observer 24 May 1921:

OPENING OF THE GLENELG PAVILION
There was a crowd of about 3,500 people at the Glenelg Oval on Saturday afternoon, attracted thereto, not only by the match between the local team and North Adelaide, but also owing to the performance by His Excellency the Governor of the official opening of the new pavilion. His Excellency said he was only too delighted to have the opportunity to declare the magnificent pavilion open. He had been long enough in South Australia to say with perfect truthfulness that any healthy and clean sport of any description would always have his enthusiastic support, and, so far as his old age - (laughter) - would allow, his active participation. Football was too quick for him nowadays, but every time he saw the game, he more fully realized that nothing but unity and the absolute sinking of self would ever win a match. No team had a chance without such qualities. In declaring the pavilion open he desired to express the hope that for many years the ground would be the centre of really clean sport in Glenelg. (Applause).
