Main Stadium

The ideal space for large-scale tradeshows, exhibitions and events requiring a lot of room.

For large events there's over 10,000 square metres of show-ready exhibition space on the main pitch, and the natural turf can be covered with a hard floor if required.

For smaller concerts and events a smaller area can be screened off from the main pitch to create a more appropriate sized venue.

Main Speight's Stand

The Main Speight's Stand houses most of the corporate hospitality lounges, suites and bars. Take your pick of our luxurious rooms with generous ceiling heights, natural light and fantastic views.

Otago Daily Times (East) Stand

The East Stand offers a large, fully-roofed flat space that can be configured to your specifications for cocktail functions, banquets, smaller concerts and trade expos. It can be set up with tables, chairs, or as standing room only, hosting up to 1500 people in style.
