Wellington Regional Stadium (known commercially as Sky Stadium through naming rights)[5][6] is a major sporting venue in Wellington, New Zealand. The stadium's bowl site size is 48,000 m2 (520,000 sq ft).
The stadium was built in 1999 by Fletcher Construction[5] and is situated close to major transport facilities (such as Wellington railway station) one kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the CBD. It was built on reclaimed railway land, which was surplus to requirements.
The stadium also serves as a large-capacity venue for concerts and is known colloquially as "The Cake Tin".[7]
