Wellington Regional Stadium

Uncommon card · No. 82355

Wellington Regional Stadium (commercially known as Hnry Stadium through naming rights) is a multi-purpose stadium in Wellington, New Zealand. It is known colloquially as "The Cake Tin". It was built to replace Athletic Park, which was no longer considered adequate for international events due to its location and state of disrepair. The stadium was also built to provide a larger-capacity venue for One Day International cricket matches, due to the Basin Reserve ground losing such matches to larger stadiums in other parts of the country. The stadium was built in 1999 by Fletcher Construction. It was the first bowl stadium built in New Zealand. The venue is situated one kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the CBD, close to major transport facilities such as Wellington railway station. It was built on reclaimed railway land, which was surplus to requirements.
