Construction began on the Forsyth Barr Stadium in May 2009 and was completed in August 2011. The stadium site is close to the mouth of the Water of Leith where it flows into Otago Harbour.
At the time of writing, the Forsyth Barr Stadium was a stand-out for its covered roof, being the only fully-roofed natural turf Stadium in the world! As such it it a versatile multipurpose venue, for sporting and community events and international touring concerts. It has a maximum seated capacity of 30,748 in a full sports mode, and capacity in excess of 36,000 for concerts.
