In 2006, the club made history becoming the first club in VFL/AFL history to have more than 50,000 members (with 50,138). They broke that record in 2007, signing up 50,146 members after only round one of the season. The club failed to continue this record run and subsequently signed 48,720 members in 2008, barely maintaining their pole position, before slipping to 45,515 in 2010; however, the trend reversed and later breached all-time highs in 2014 when they signed 54,249, although five other clubs had surpassed their membership base by this point, with Collingwood leading with nearly 80,000 members by this point. Adelaide's membership peaked for the 2019 season with 64,437, and their 2022 membership was 63,009.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-06 |title=2022 AFL membership ladder: Battlers lead the league, three crack the ton amid 14 record hauls |url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-membership-numbers-ladder-2022-afl-club-membership-by-team-club-records-most-members-west-coast-richmond/news-story/fb533d3e5f05e6f9f757dabf4b77b0a6 |access-date=2023-04-17 |website=Fox Sports |language=en}}</ref>

The club has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with [[Toyota]] since its inception, leading the club to be known in promotional materials as the "Camry Crows".

Two-time Grand Slam tennis champion [[Lleyton Hewitt]] was made the club's number-one ticket holder in December 2002.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://footystats.freeservers.com/Archive/D-03-Dec-01.html |title=Stab kicks |access-date=29 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130517215906/http://footystats.freeservers.com/Archive/D-03-Dec-01.html |archive-date=17 May 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> International pop singer [[Guy Sebastian]] became the number-one ticket holder in April 2024.<ref>{{cite web|title=Guy Sebastian announced as AFC No. 1 Ticketholder|website=Adelaide Football Club|date=3 April 2024|url=https://www.afc.com.au/news/1521514/crows-announce-new-number-one-ticket-holder}}</ref> Former federal politician [[Kate Ellis (politician)|Kate Ellis]] is the number-one female ticket holder, while [[Greg Champion]], a musician and radio broadcaster, is the Melbourne number-one ticket holder.<ref>[http://www.afc.com.au/staff%20members/tabid/4517/default.aspx Recruiting Operatives] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512223607/http://www.afc.com.au/staff%20members/tabid/4517/default.aspx |date=12 May 2012 }}</ref> Australian golfer [[Adam Scott (golfer)|Adam Scott]] is also an honorary member of the club.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/afl/golf-can-wait-as-scott-jumps-on-the-crows-bandwagon/2005/08/21/1124562752901.html |title=Golf can wait as Scott jumps on the Crows' bandwagon - AFL - Sport - smh.com.au |date=22 August 2005 |access-date=6 June 2012 |archive-date=12 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070812181043/http://www.smh.com.au/news/afl/golf-can-wait-as-scott-jumps-on-the-crows-bandwagon/2005/08/21/1124562752901.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
