Forsyth Barr Stadium is New Zealand's only fully covered stadium, featuring a unique ETFE roof that lets in natural light while protecting spectators from the elements. Opened in 2011, it is the home of the Otago rugby team and the Highlanders Super Rugby franchise, and also hosts international rugby, football matches, and major concerts. Visitors can take guided tours to see the changing rooms, media facilities, and the playing surface. The stadium's design ensures excellent acoustics and unobstructed views from every seat.
