Otago Stadium

Dunedin’s new stadium will be New Zealand's largest indoor arena and the second largest in the southern hemisphere after Melbourne’s Telstra Stadium.

The Government has contributed $15 million towards the stadium, which will be known as the Forsyth Barr Stadium at University Plaza.

The project, due for completion mid 2011, will be a world-class facility that can host a range of sporting, entertainment and cultural events - whatever the weather.

The stadium is being built on an impressive site overlooking the city’s harbour, two kilometres from Dunedin’s CBD and at the gateway to the city’s famous university precinct.

The north, south and east stands will have a permanent seating capacity of 25,000 people, and the west stand will have temporary seating for 5,000.  The stadium’s maximum capacity will be 35,000 people.
