New Zealand
Westpac Stadium
The Westpac Stadium, previously known as WestpacTrust Stadium, is the major
sporting venue in Wellington. Due to its shape, it is colloquially known as
The Cake-Tin in other parts of New Zealand, although the locals refer to it
by either its proper name or simply as The Stadium. Fans of football club
Wellington Phoenix FC, one of the tenants, refer to the stadium as The Ring
of Fire. The stadium was built in 1999 by Fletcher Construction and is
situated close to major transport facilities, such as the Wellington Railway
Station.
