Stadium(s)

The match takes place at the impressive Mount Smart Stadium, which has also had a number of sponsored names down the years including the Ericsson Stadium and the Go Media Stadium, but no matter what you know it as, it is a modern stadium that hosts the Warriors and the Kiwi national test side.

The ground has a unique look and feel to it thanks in part to been built into the quarried remnants of the Rarotonga or Mount Smart volcano.

The stadium is now made up of two main stands, that runs down the touchlines of both sides of the field and that are made up of two tiers of seating as well as some corporate facilities.

Behind one set of sticks is a large temporary stand whilst the other end features a large grass bank which all in gives the stadium a capacity of around 25,000.

When packed out, as it likely will be for this one with plenty of those in New Zealand also backing the Rabbits, it is a ground that offers an incredible atmosphere although no NRL game has ever come close to the incredible Rugby League World Cup semi-final match between England and Tonga.

That was one of the most incredible atmospheres of any sport of any time and has gone down in the folklore of the sport.

Although represented not just the whole of the capital city of Auckland and the country of New Zealand as a whole, the Warriors are based in the suburb of Penrose.

This is traditionally an industrial suburb of the nation’s capital, which is around 9 kilometres from the city centre and close to the Mangere Inlet, an arm of Manuka Harbour.

As mentioned, there stadium is built on an old volcano, on a hill side which gives the stadium a unique location.

About
