Reviews of Forsyth Barr Stadium

Always assistance to show you your seats, food and drinks readily available pending on rush times not a long wait. Security efficient and professional in their work.

Great venue, Fleetwood Mac was an awesome experience with easy & quick access in and out of the stadium despite being a sold out concert. Plenty of places to eat both in and outside the venue. Plenty of toilets provided. I'd easily recommend attending any event here. I would have to recommend wearing warm clothes and being aware that even though it's enclosed- it's very much had the environment of an out door venue and you should dress accordingly.

Hosted the craft beer festival in October and as always tons of fun. Great stadium and you never need to worry about the weather

Getting in and out is easy. You can find parks if you look around. Perfect having a roof. Bright. Lighting is ok but they flicker for high frame rate video. Generally good venue.

My wife & I had the privilege of checking out the corporate booth for Shania Twain, the staff were lovely & very attentive. The food & drink supply was great & very generous, we barely touched the food between 25 people. Shania was awesome.

So great to enjoy a sporting event both matter what the weather is doing. It is great for the spectator and for the player. My first time tonight, Highlanders vs Crusaders, 20 - 40. The local boys did better than the score might suggest, but the Crusaders were just too good. A great night out.

Thanks for providing a space for legends like Elton and Pink Ed Sheeran and Six60 to come blow us away in the south. Staff always helpful. Just remember to take a rug for when the temp drops, cash for food/drinks and patience for the queues. Cheers forsyth barr

Went to both the Elton John, Queen and Adam Lambet concerts. Really appreciated the roof for Elton as the weather was atrocious. Security normally takes umbrellas but by the time we got there we were able to take ours in. The process through security was quick and efficient. There seemed to be plenty of toilets. We didnt buy food or drink but it looked okay. We had warm clothes which were really needed for Elton and make sure rainproof coat for rain. We had caught a bus to the Octagon and got the free bus to the venue. We had previously parked a car in the wharf area so walked there after. Might try the bus option to go home in the future. I think the stadium and its facilities are a credit to Dunedin.

Great venue. Love the fact its covered. Attended 2 concerts recently. Elton John. Got drenched on way there but concert under cover. And Queen. Both great. Have attended sports events here. Atmosphere is great.

Came to watch Highlanders v Stormers. Match was a bit messy but the stadium with its roof was excellent. Also like putting all the noisy young people at one end and letting them get on with it.

Great place for a concert this is my third time here and toilet lines were flowing fast and the food is so easy to get. Drinks were a pain in the standing areas need lids or something or plastic bottles not nice to have a bourbon spilt down your back. Go pink you rocked it

Went for the first ed Sheeran concert! So many people everywhere entering concert was fast and efficient not a hassle at all. Toilets set up and food everywhere enough staff to help. Very organised.

Great venue for a conference great food and lovely staff

25.06.2016. First time I watched All Blacks. Amazing match. Stadium is so nice.

Great place to watch rugby when its raining outside ! Go the Ponies !

We love our local stadium. Covered seating - which is a must in the Dunedin weather. Great location in the city and easy walking distance from central Dunedin.

Nice stadium, great concert experience. The down side is there's a very limited/poor food selection and you can't bring your own.

Amazing stadium with natural grass turf. What a great place to see the Highlanders beat the Lions 23-22. Someone in front obviously enjoying a fine drop of Garagista IPA beer.

An awesome stadium to watch all the football codes. But also a great place for concerts or beer festivals. Luckily for me, I can catch the bus home right outside.

Was better then we expected the bar on level 4 was a surprise for us, great service great view great game. #BulldogAllday4me

Every seat manages to have a decent view of the action. When looking at the big screens it can be hard to see as they are quite small, probably need to be twice as big.

I think this is the only stadium in New Zealand that has roof making it way easier to watch the game without worring about it being postponed. I give it 5 stars because of the reasons given.

Beautiful venue. Was here for Stevie Nicks, sound quality was only good from centre but other than that, was a great experience!

Easy to get to, lots of local parking, great sound system. Fab night!

Been to six concerts here so far and the sound quality is something I can never fault. Couldn't hear what some people been saying negatively about the sound system. Every single concert I been to has been amazing. This is a great asset to Dunedin and it's been great to see acts I hoped would come to Dunedin for years especially my girlfriends all time favorite band Queen and has wanted to see her entire life come to Dunedin. That was the happiest night of her lifetime. What an amazing concert that was

Great place to go for a concert. The only gripe I have is the seating. They're a little bit hard for a long period to sit down you're right for an hour again or something, but for a concert. It's a wee bit on the hard site, and there isn't a lot of leg room with someone that's hard to move. Enjoy life.

Great facility. Nice, dry and warm thanks to the roof. Fantastic atmosphere!

Went looking for the barr, as a keen pirate, but was disappointed to discover that no such place existed. Had to settle for watching the rugby amongst a plethora of randy teenagers whose only interest appeared to be sinking piss, and competing to see who could acquire the most emergency contraceptives by the following Monday morning. Would definitely attend again.

I've watched live sport at most stadiums around the country and this is by far the best - for a stadium with a 30,000+ capacity, you feel really close to the action. I was there for the Highlanders vs Crusaders and it was probably 80% full, but I never had to queue for food, drink or the toilet.

One of the best stadiums in South Island, New Zealand

A great venue for all events

Wonderful sports stadium, with the added bonus of Unipol.

Great venue for a concert. Saw The Eagles here and the seating meant no one was too far from the stage. It's covered (so you won't be cold) but you can see the sky through the ceiling (very nice!)

Good venue. Very helpful event staff. Most pleasant and accommodating. Chips and hot dog were good too.

Lovely modern arena and awesome that it had a permanent roof. We attended for the Elton John concert. Although facilitating such a large event always poses challenges we did experience a few shortcomings. Gates opened about 15 minutes after the stayed time despite an absolute rain downpour soaking customers waiting in queues. Hot food options were limited and the wait for hot drinks was over an hour. Although the roof stopped us getting wetter, it was still cold inside as it is not an enclosed structure. There was nothing in the arena to help keep wet cold customers warm. On a nice warm day I'm sure the experience would be better.

Always come here for concerts or D1NZ LOVE IT!!!

Great concert amd rugby venue. Away from the wind and rain and easy to get into and out of. Sound was great right in front of the band and the security were onto it with no issues, despite it being Black Sabbath with a student crowd. Good close parking and facilities. Enjoyed it..

Security was great. Acted with real calm authority when people were vaping in front of us.

Great stadium, undercover so not to cold

Loved the place. Would definitely love to go again

first time I have been inside and woah blown away, though that could be because Ed Sheeran was in the whare :)

Average coffee, but the raspberry white choc muffin was to die for! Great place to sit and chat. Love meeting for coffee here ❤

Great place to see Aaron Smith showcase his skill sets. #TeKahuoterangi

Every seat manages to have a decent view of the action. When looking at the big screens it can be hard to see as they are quite small, probably need to be twice as big.

Freightlines Waikato Deep south Dunedin

Ok, but need more bread dishes , beer was nive tho 👍

Nice stadium, great concert experience. The down side is there's a very limited/poor food selection and you can't bring your own.

Been to a few shows here and it's a good venue. Acoustically not the best since it's a rather large stadium with a roof over it, but still a great larger venue to see a show or watch a game.

Watched All Blacks v Wales. Great in every aspect except couldn't make out a word the announcer was saying. Been here to see several concerts and has been awesome.

Great wish there was a game on

Great venue easy parking

Fantastic venue for rugby, concerts and events. Even if you are sat near the back the views are still good and the roof means you stay dry whatever the weather.

First time here for the Elton John concert , fabulous and with the roof considering how wet today has been. Awesome stadium and one of the best shows I've been too !!!

It's a good stadium. Probably not the best acoustics wise for seeing a great concert, more of a sporting grounds.. but in saying that, it feels like you're outside when you're not so you gotta admit that's pretty cool.

Great to see the stadium full. Good facilities. Only problem I've noticed is the pushing and shoving as people leave, there needs to be a better way of controlling the people leaving. Fantastic concert, looking forward to EHJ and Fleetwood Mac.

Brilliant Eagles Concert, sound brilliant. Very entertaining, but reckon you should have one entrance and exit for people getting alcohol from the ground seats. As was very annoying with people walking up and down the steps in the speights stand to get alcohol. Was quite a disruptive view with them passing by for most of the night.

Stunning roofed stadium. Wasn't exactly the most popular decision when the decision was made to build it but it's been worth it if you're into concerts and high profile rugby matches. You're guaranteed a great time if you've got your own alcohol to first smuggle and then consume inside the stadium or alternatively if you purchase alcohol at a substantially higher cost it's also fine too. Music concerts are okay, acoustics are below average but can only improve as future concerts will be held there time and time again.

Average coffee, but the raspberry white choc muffin was to die for! Great place to sit and chat. Love meeting for coffee here ❤

Great place to watch and experience rugby in full Dunedin mode , loud and proud supporters make it an awesome atmosphere. And not getting rained on makes it even better. Tickets prices range from family deals to the more expensive members pass. Food and drink available. Also fantastic concert venue for international acts , check out the web site for prices . easy walk into town ,best not to drive as congestion after games can cause delays but you can park close and join the walking train. Close to Emerson's bar for pregame build up if needed

I have been to several events here, including concerts and sports games, and it never fails to impress! My first impression was that it has INCREDIBLE bathrooms. I was very impressed, as they are super clean and big and not a long wait, despite many people using them. I was also impressed by the layout, which meant that even though the whole stadium was sold out and chocker, it wasn't too crowded or confusing! I am also always impressed by the sound system. I went to Ed Sheeran and it was very crisp, perfect volume. I also found that from all the positions I have been seated in over the years, the big screen is always pretty visible. Like I said, good layout! When this stadium's construction was announced, I was skeptical as to whether it would be a good investment, but now I can safely say it is an important part of Dunedin and has earned its keep!

I've been here for the Ed Sheeran, and Eagles concerts. The concerts were great, but the seats get quite uncomfortable after a while, and the railings on the sides of the stands aren't high enough. I'm quite tall, and they're about waist height on me.

Watched Pink here and she was incredible. The event was very well organised, getting in, around and out of the stadium was very easy. The food prices were reasonable which is unusual at events. All round good night.

Always a great experience under the roof

Bought tickets online, picked up at stadium. No hassles, easy entry. Buying food and drink was quick and easy. Plenty of easily accessable toilets.Crowd also dispersed quickly when leaving. Great experience.

Went to watch the AB's play France, parked in town and walked. Could do with more signs for directions. We found that was the biggest problem. An not knowing where to park. Otherwise the stadium is great. Dress warm, there is still a good breeze that gets in

Great venue - good to see they got their act together after the appaulling and shocking effort of the first concert there... now if only there was parking or a decent effort with transportation to/from the venue. And maybe more accommodation built in Dunedin to curb the blatant price gouging that currently goes on!!!

My first visit. I went to see The Eagles concert. Ground staff polite and helpful. Expensive seat ($306) on the field and tall people in front of me meant I had a limited view of the stage. Traffic to and from the venue was horrific... so thankful that I used public transport to get there and back from home. Food and drinks on site very expensive and I'm glad I wasn't hungry or thirsty. But at least I can say I have almost seen The Eagles live.

Awesome concert my 1st. Also great rugby & warm under the roof . Food was great but expensive drinks. All gate & internal security staff very helpful

Easy to get into and out of, even in a crowd of 30,000. Plenty of facilities. Lots of helpful staff. Great place for sports, acoustics for concerts is a bit patchy

Excellent stadium. But I'm always left wondering how hard is it can be to arrange enough drinks outlets and staff to avoid huge queues - the numbers and type of people attending can't be a surprise? Security too concerned with minor infringements and not properly dealing with the few people who are really sloshed and kicking off.

First time at Forsyth Barr for Eagles Concert. Came down from ChCh. Great experience. Only problem was lack of signage/ visual instructions at entry point. Otherwise very well organised. From free shuttles to travel there and massive walking bus to Town after. Great night.

Poor sound in the side stalls - The echoes make music very hard to listen to. If you go to a concert here I strongly recomend being on the main pitch as close to the centre as possible. The closer to the stage the better it will sound.

Very good, versatile stadium. No need to worry about the rain due to full roof coverage however it can get a little cold at times so a jumper might come in handy for those who feel the cold

Awesome stadium. Great for concerts and sports. The closed roof is a lifesaver and stops all the harsh weather. The layout and organisation of everything here is very well done as well. Coming from Wellington's Westpac Stadium, it makes our stadium services look unprofessional.

Went for the Ed Sheeran concert 01/04/18, it was a brilliant show with great acoustics but I had some serious problems with the venue. I have a medical condition that effects my mobility at times, entry required walking all the way around the stadium (arrived at Gate A had to walk around to Gate H), then upstairs and downstairs. There are no toilets at ground level so I went 8 hours without peeing because I physically couldn't climb the stairs again.

It's a medium sized indoor stadium (the only one in Otago). It's tidy and clean with beer/snack/food options especially during the big events. It's easy to get in and out and have descent parking inside and outside of the stadium.

good place to impress visitors, not allowed in at that time but look forward to all blacks game

Rating the stadium not the concert. The food is terrible! Overpriced, no selection and everything there is fried. Surely this could be a better standard. They ran out of pizza already at 6.30pm. The stadium itself is great being covered.

Queen concert. Great for a venue built for Rugby , seats ok for an 80 min match, but not for a 2.5 hour wait followed by a 2.5 hour consert. Say no more.

Superb stadium with ridiculously priced food but that's too be expected I guess. Told us there would be a 20 minute wait for sauce in the member's bar. How??

Food and drinks are expensive but not bad compared with other stadiums in the world. There isn't much in the way of parking and you could end up pretty far from your gate. Atmosphere for the games I've been to see has been low. Announcement system is bad completely inaudible.

There for the Queen concert. We were quite far back on the pitch. The view of the stage was non existent, that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise great.

Easy enough to admit the FBS went through a hell of a lot of early anti days when it came out of the ground in 2009/2010. Seemed like every man and their dog had something to say about the place: most didn't want it. But, now, those folks seem to have quietened right down. I've enjoyed several rugby matches there: Rugby World Cup in 2011, some provincial matches since, and several Highlanders vs (others) across the years. Always have a great time in the stadium. And, as one recent poster said, the covered (but completely transparent) roof is a game-changer. So you are kinda' outside watching a match, but... you're not. It's awesome! No matter what the weather, you can enjoy whatever it is you are inside there to watch. I've not been to a concert in FBS, but understand many folks earlier on had major dramas with sound quality. From what I've read, they've sorted those issues out now (and, truth is you'd have to think that 7 or so years on, they certainly should have), so this doesn't appear to be an issue any more. As for seating: everywhere I've ever been inside the stadium offers brilliant views of a game. But - the northern stand's upper tiers are true 'nose bleeders'. Incredibly steep seating arrangement, which works really, really well for viewing a game. But, she's a hell of a hike up those stairs if you're located anywhere near the top level seats. You'll be squeezing air pretty bloody hard into your lungs by the time you get up there... is the point I'm making. Enjoy!

Absolutely smashed it just remember wind can blow from all four corners this allows the grass to grow

Went there a couple of times. Once foe a rugby game and second time for a concert. Both times really easy access. Clean toilets. Food and drink stand a bit at each corner. And covered stadium.

Saw Fleetwood Mac here. As a concert venue, this place is awesome. If it's cold outside be sure to bring a jacket or blanket.

Nice to have a roof but stadium access lacks any useful shelter for people in queue . Sound system for concert was only just good enough.

Modern tidy and clean building. super organised and practical game . Rugby game was our first ever . Great views from warm chairs and covered stadium. Quick and eay check in and out as well as parking . Great service hostesses. Thanks

An all-weather venue that Dunedin can be proud of. Have attended sporting fixtures, concerts and a beer festival here - all very different events requiring different set-ups - was impressed with the use of space, the onsite facilities and the overall event management.

The stadium is just amazing.. They have a gym where students can go excercise and it's well equipped.. I just love this place. Ample parking space and clean bathrooms

Brilliant Indoor stadium. Can still be cold if it's freezing outside but nothing like the open roofed stadiums. Minimal wind. Very clean and tidy

Shania Twain concert was fantastic, sound quality was way up there, seating was up close and personal, leg room was excellent , down in the ground area.easy to find seat easy to find toilets and exits

Everything under cover. Sports events, rugby, and music are superb. You don't have to worry about the weather here. Food is boring, expensive, and alcohol is average. I wouldn't rate these at all.

My only complaint is the proximity of seating from each other. You can barely squeeze in front of anybody to get down a row of seats - in fact you just can’t squeeze along, and then when in your seat the space you have between yourself and those either side of you is “nil”. You really are jammed in like sardines.

Good Stadium first time visit,looking forward to next game

Excellent venue. Food and beverages over priced.its not a place you would take the whole family regularly only on special occasions. You want to fill more seats you need to address this issue. But it is a fantastic facility

Nice place for a concert. Great idea to have a pop a bar at end of ground level. Toilets plenty of when u find the ones hidden behind others.

Outstanding all weather venue still need to rug up in winter but you won't get wet currently only roofed stadium in NZ

Staff great, service great. Only gripe was on website told no umbrellas allowed but yet people had umbrellas. Not great when it's a very wet night.

Went to Fleetwood Mac was a great concert. Forsyth Barr Stadium is a great venue. Only problem is the lack of taxis in the city..

I've only been outside this place. Though it's really big. Different entrances for different functions. The stadium itself is the only one in NZ to have a roof that can open & shut.

Wish Christchurch had a fantastic stadium like this. The ambience is awesome

Attended for Ed Sheeran 2018 with a full house. Venue layout provides for ease of enty and exit; good acess to amenities (even from the centre of the stadium); and an excellent atmosphere within. As for parking, it is generally easier to find parking closer to town and walk the remaining distance than park near the stadium itself.

Brilliant place for an event because of closed roof. Pays to spend a bit extra to get ground level seats for concerts as there is a bit of echo at higher levels.

Smooth vaccine visit. In and out no worries!

We Had the Seats double A what ment it was the last row but still we had a good view. It wasn't windy at all because its the only Stadium in New Zealand with a roof. Sadly the Highlanders lost.

Great stadium, steep terrace with unrestricted view

Great venue. Unfortunately the seats are built for children and not adults. This would put me off going back. A shame really

Great stadium, undercover so not to cold

Great flow. Easy to find seats. Good atmosphere

Event first aiding for Moro marathon. Good site for the end for us as people were not out in the weather while we dealt with them. That said, it was a beautiful day.

Visited the stadium for Ed Sheeran concert. We did arrive early but we're impressed by the good quick service at security and food/drink outlets.

Great venue for all sporting events

Love it best stadium in new zealand The home game atmosphere is great

Great stadium and lots of good events here too. Well worth having this venue, enclosed means it beats the weather when it's poor. Still good here

We have visited this venue 3 times and have found it a great place to see rugby or a show. Having a closed roof and access to the stadium close to the cbd is a real advantage.

Awesome venue. Somewhat hard to find parking.

Ed Sheeran concert, Kendrick Lamar concert and Pink concert all in 2018, Super Rugby is held here and also International Rugby Matches so a great place to hang and watch a game

As a rate payer I really want this venue to work. Having been to Elton John,The Hollies and Paul Simon these are my constructive comments. 1 Things have improved 2 The sound is now great. 3 We can't see the acts, raise the stage, and put in a screen 4 There needs to be somewhere for people to get out of their chairs and dance without offending other people. 5 No one will stay seated with Aerosmith-address this

Was very impressed with stadium.well run clean.covered in .Great management of crowds.we went to a concert.ran really smoothly.easy access to food and drinks.staff polite and helpfull.had a great time

Go a bit earlier as it's divided into zones ABCDE etc and try and be seated before it starts It's very crowded and takes quite a while to get to where you need to be I went to a Shania Twain concert which was sensational so very good I found the base a bit loud and vibrated a bit The music was to loud and I couldn't hear the song properly There was a long intermission after the first singer and before Shania came on and there could have been a second singer as it was a hour but it was just so worth the wait

Been to an excellent Elton John concert. Great place, needs police controlled traffic management when shows finish.

Excellent venue. Rain hail or shine.

Great place love going there to watch rugby games.

I'm sure it would be better when it's not wet. But the weather really dampened our stadium experience for Elton John.

Attended a small trade expo here. There are many entrances, and finding the right one was difficult. The elevators and hallways are very accessible, and our small room was well appointed for the occasion.

Forsyth Barr stadium is the only covered stadium in the south island, it's a poorly designed blight on Dunedin's economy, and we the roadccrew have to jump through so many hurdles to make it work for each show. However, if we have a show there we can and do make it work. I hope people continue to enjoy the various touring shows, such as Stevie Nicks in a few days. If you like that sort of thing, it'll be an experience of a lifetime.

Best seats East side if you suffer virtigo. Good coffee needs a choice of whiskey or rum added.

It's a great sports venue but the sound quality is poor so much reverberation and echo surely this could be mitigated with some sound dampening of some sort. Maybe heavy curtain around the perifery any thing!

I have been to many rugby games, concerts and functions at the stadium... I have never been let down... The staff are great and they try really hard to make a good impression Well Done I say !!

Ok, but need more bread dishes , beer was nive tho 👍

Facilities good but leaving is a nightmare. Second time we have been second time pulling my hair out. Sorry Dunedin talk to mount smart they have it sorted.

..Mainly street parking for this venue . (Try near the University on a big night ). Plenty of signage will get you efficiently to your seat . Music pre-game unnecessarily loud (

On the day it was very interesting seeing the turf being lifted and I spoke to a couple of those involved who were more than happy to pass on there knowledge of the process.

Perfect setting for rainy or sunny days. Walking distance to city. Good for family and friends.

Saw the All Blacks for the 2nd time at Forsyth. Great atmosphere

Love this stadium. Gets you close to the action, and the zoo (student zone) makes for an awesome atmosphere. Best covered stadium.

Not the greatest stadium but not the worst. Can get cold and has a lot of birds hanging around it so bring something to put on your seat

Good venue with decent views. Great for rugby games and concerts. Not enough parking nearby though so make use of busses.

Super game AB'S v Fiji absolutely 💯

Fantastic venue, service and staff

An amazing covered stadium. Saw the English Irish lions play the highlanders here. It's better than eden park in Auckland

Wow, what a Stadium - looking forward to the day I can get to watch a game there!!

Awesome game of rugby, great seats, close the action.

Awesome for concerts but after match transport needs sorting out it's a joke when the walkers can beat the buses to CBD

Awesome stadium, was just what Dunedin needed. Location can be a pain for parking and a slow shuffle out after the events but the atmosphere is awesome.

Excellent stadium! Feels like your right in the game ❤

Ambiance was great thanks to the students who are very fun !!!!

Well set out and well managed. The non alcoholic kitchen is great for people not wanting booze coz you dont have to wait an hour with all the drunks

Great. Attended Fleetwood Macs last concert of their world tour, in Dunedin. Awesome night.

World class sports facility. Not always easy to get a drink. Needs a better area for smokers that doesn't block the main entry/exits.

Its allright . The roof is world class and makes watching games in the pooring rain easy . Some of the stuff a bit up themselfs and the security guards where very unkind to some children . I was so mad I said something to the guard . He told me to keep out of it .

Great stadium for concerts but has a mean breeze which makes it very chilly.

Great venue and brilliant game. Could do with moving the drink outlet opposite aisle 302 to avoid congestion with toilets etc

Been here for rugby and events. Crowd always flows smoothly. And being indoors makes it amazing on any day

Great place to see Aaron Smith showcase his skill sets. #TeKahuoterangi

Great venue for concerts, not too large, easy to navigate and a breeze to depart in a crowd.

Rated as one of the best stadiums in Southern Hemisphere and is well suited for concerts .

A great venue to watch a game of Rugby, so much warmer and drier than Carisbrook the old home of Otago Rugby. Carisbrook is now gone in fact when they tore down the stands it reverted to its original state of a swamp.

Great atmosphere, but the acoustics are bad, couldn't hear

Great location the my 4 year old boy enjoyed running around

What a stadium!!!! Of course I think the fa t that the eagles we're playing there made the experience that much h better. Great place !!!!

Good concert!! Roger Waters, good seating, cool breeze, sitting on field area :-) well done :-)

Comfy seating and awesome view of Pink

Undercover while watching a very hard fought game when it is stormy and... Can't beat it!

Was awesome pity no rubbish bins at the ready though... GA standing was great untill we got to leave and had to wade through recycling for Africa!

Can be a cold breeze blowing if you're seated near the corners but still a great place to watch rugby.

Forsyth Barr Stadium is an amazing asset to Dunedin. The sound is amazing for concert's and you are spoiled with the roof to watch your sport's team's on rainy Dunedin day's.

Good venue to hold a larger sized event well organized

Facilities were awesome. So easy to get around and find things

Great seats at the base of the North Stand for "The Eagles" concert. Great venue, sound and vibe.

Watched my first rugby game it was pretty lit

Parking can be a bit tricky if there is a big event on but easy to walk to

Great stadium, roof is excellent for games/events when the weather is not so good. Great atmosphere. Go the Landers!

Roger Waters: Us and Them Tour. Great music, great political statement. There is something wrong in America. "Hey you, Whitehouse Ha ha you are, You house proud town mouse Ha ha charade you are."

Great covered facilities, especially considering the unpredictable weather in the deep sourg but really, really small seats and very narrow spaces between rows!!

Nice venue, sound in the stands is pretty terrible. Get in front of or in line with the speakers if you can.

Attended a convocation ceremony here. Got to watch the Prime Minister deliver a speech here. What a day that was! And the stadium is gorgeous

Excellent stadium venue for live music, especially when on the pitch rather than the stands.

Awesome, helpful security took me right to the gate from disabled parking area in a golf buggy.

The stadium is the nice dry and sometimes warm place when it rains it will still be dry because of the roof it has on it

Great place for concerts, events and Ruby games.

Just saw The Eagles here, such a great venue and the staff were so helpful and good at their jobs. The Eagles of course was amazing !!!!

Amazing stadium, really good atmosphere when it is full and the see through roof is amazing for light if you go at the right time of year

Bring it on, so many concerts held here

Loved the place. Would definitely love to go again

The last concert I went to was Ed Sheeran and it was great it was covered in an it was well managed as far as crowd control was concerned.

Not the best acoustically. Excellent for sports but not so much rock concerts.

Wonderful experience so far for both games and concerts. Top quality!

The fruit was bruised and dry, the coffee luke, warm, and the serving girl was quite sullen when asked to regions the cost of the inedible fruit.

The best stadium in New Zealand.

Such an awesome venue. Went to see Ed Sheeran there. So well set up

10 minutes late opening the gates. After concert people climbing up §stairs to get out cause half-wits wouldn't open gate. Sort the gate staff out guys

The Eagles in the Stadium were great. Great sound at the back stand.. No echo off walls 🖒

Rugby games are higher quality than if played outside, cheery atmosphere loved it

Great sports stadium

We had a streaker , you can't ask for more than that

Great stadium sound system not very good

Great atmosphere when full house in the zoo end for lions v highlanders.covered pitch saved us from torrential rain outside.

Very cool place

Well organised, great venue.

Stunning venue for concerts sports anything really. Really great atmosphere and short walk to the octagon

Great venue for watching rugby. Just like all other stadiums food and drink a bit expensive.

Loved it, the Zoo is a fantastic place for a party, no good for watching footy though. Too many distractions.

Best place in the world for watching rugby. The North stand is steep but has a stunning view.

Best stadium in New Zealand and for every one to go to and have a great time 🍷👍🥃🥃😊🐨🤹🍷🍷👍🥃🤠 007

Went here to see Ed Sheeran and what an amazing night. Superb stadium with great facilities.

Have been here twice now for concerts absolutely amazing stadium with great Acoustics

Brilliant! Excellent venue very enjoyable except for the exorbitant beverage prices....

What a wonderful concert venue buy your tickets and don't worry about the weather

The best rugby venue in New Zealand... Including other sports events & social events.

Came here for a beer festival, it was great. Apparently they play sports ball of some sort here in the winter, at least that's what my friend told me.

I went to a concert here. Only complaint was poor queue management with an odd system when buying food or drinks. Very slow. People missed start of gig.

Great place to watch the rugby. Also good for people with mobility issues . Good concert venue

Loved the fact that the stadium is covered. Concerts in any weather. Fantastic

Best stadium in NZ, hosting big concerts and other venues!

It's nice to see the public at the rugby games

Great stadium! Wonderful that it's covered and easy quick access.

Great stadium especially in the Winter

Always a great place to be: for exercise, concert events and coffee, even in the rain.

Watched the rugby

Excellent venue though very cold in winter, better to have a very warm jacket & not need it than need it & not have it.🌬❄

Great place to watch a concert, but no parking for miles.

Easily the best stadium in nz for rugby and concerts. Easy ti get in and out of and walking distance from town

Ed Shereen concert at the Forsyth Barr Stadium 👌🏽👌🏽

Went to tonite Rugby game great time. Great facilities

It's gotta be New Zealands best sports and function ground . Truly an icon of NZ. Under the big roof . Fantastic

If you don't park on the nth east park it's a walk to the only gate open( school boys soccer finals) it was a little chilly where we sat but otherwise good.

After an Eagles concert, awesome venue easy access n facilities are good

New Zealand s best stadium, events, concert's and the best place for winter rugby.

Great place to watch rugby

Such a beautiful stadium. The seating is good and easy to get to.

Attended pink concert on Saturday night. It was freezing in there even pink said her dancers were cold

Best rugby stadium ive been to. Hands down

Great place for a concert have not been for a rugby match very good closed in place

Can be a lack of parking at bigger events, but has a good amount gates, accesible, and is in a nice place.

Good stadium, merchandise stalls completely overloaded at P!NK concert and needs addressing in future.

Best indoor sports stadium in NZ. Needs more games and concerts.

Under 13 rugby final no better place to have it than in an international rugby venue.

Fantastic stadium, my first time in an under cover stadium. Made for a very pleasant experience.

Really enjoyed the game and half time entertainment was a giggle but the loudspeakers are very echoey and almost impossible to understand

Can't beat a live game of rugby at this stadium

Great Indoor Stadium in to see Rodger Waters good Stadium to see any concert or any game of football love the experience

Great fun for family during rugby season and great for students to get involved in sports

Good place for a game but not so good for a concert sound was bad at rear of Stadium

Great stadium with good views of the pitch, getting back into Dunedin can be a pain after the match

Great facilities, well organized. Only disappointment was no security in our area when a drunken idiot was falling on everything

Lines moved fast,but all bottles have to have there tops removed,even the sealed ones.

Great for all events

Best sports entertainment venue in the South Island, maybe New Zealand. Great facilities and atmosphere.

Nice place and roof makes it better as you don't have to worry about the rain

Was a good place to go look forward to one day to watch a footy game there

Great place for event but had to wait for queue for ages to buy drink or food the event and food is not that good for price.

Awesome place. Covered stand well worth it. Went to Ed Sheeran there, it was fantastic.

Awesome facility for the community. Great venue to watch a good game of rugby.

A bloody great stadium. Not a bad seat in the house

Amazing place, good security and easy entrance and exit for pink concert.

Third visit to Forsyth Barr but first to see the All Blacks. Great venue despite being squished in like sardines in the Mitre 10 stand.

Ed Sheeran was fantastic. Place was warm and dry on a cold night out

Way up the top of the stand and we got a great view of the rugby game.
