Stadium Christchurch has reopened after its $60m upgrade ahead of next year’s Rugby World Cup.
The venue, which has had its permanent capacity boosted to almost 40,000 as part of the redevelopment work, will host seven matches at the 2011 tournament.
Rugby New Zealand 2011 chief executive Martin Snedden said: “This is a significant milestone in our preparations for RWC 2011. The upgrade ensures that Stadium Christchurch will be a showcase venue for RWC 2011.
“The venue has a long history of hosting top-quality events and the redevelopment will leave a lasting legacy for New Zealand sport and the people of Canterbury to enjoy for years to come.”
Stadium Christchurch is one of country’s oldest sporting venues, dating back to 1880, and hosts rugby and cricket, as well as music events.
