Wellington Regional Stadium, Multi-purpose sports venue in Wellington, New Zealand.
Wellington Regional Stadium is a multi-purpose sports venue in Wellington City, New Zealand, used for team sports and concerts. A continuous tier of yellow seating surrounds the playing surface, topped by a curved steel canopy that shelters spectators and corporate lounges.
The facility opened in 2000 to replace Athletic Park, which had deteriorated from decades of weathering. Construction took place in the late 1990s and gave the city a modern venue for major events.
The stadium made history in 2000 by hosting the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, marking the first performance of this event outside Scotland.
The stadium holds over 34,000 seats with sections for visitors with reduced mobility and accessible entry points. Tickets are available through the Ticketek platform, where seating can be selected according to individual needs.
The seating was deliberately painted in a bright, sunny colour to create the impression of larger crowds even when the stadium is not full. This choice also helps with television broadcast under varying light conditions.
