The Sky Stadium is a great place to spend an afternoon watching your favourite team play or attending a concert. There is parking available, which is a bit pricey but its close and secure.The staff are friendly and accommodating when asking for directions. All in all its a great experience on a nice day.

March2021: easy walk up to here from town. Have your bags ready for inspection and tickets for scanning, all on board, and youll be through the bars.. Easy as that. The tunnels are well signed, follow your nose, if you miss your turn off, youll end up back at the start... Good night with our group, split fan group, made it better. 1 of us went away not so happy 😭😂..FYI... it will always be the CAKETIN ❤️

Great place for sports events, concerts or special events. Home to Wellington Rugby, Hurricanes and Phoenix Football. The seating is covered and the concourse easy to navigate for food, beverages or merchandise on sports days. Special event day are great with displays on the main concourse. Many great lounges for warmth and a different variety of food. Parking on the streets surrounding the stadium is handy as well as the proximity to wellington central rail station. Taxis or buses nearby and 15 minutes walk to the central city.

The face-lift they have done on the stadium in the last couple years has given a fresh lift to a great stadium. Along with the new food and drink vendors. Prices have Def gone up.Hurricanes..

They should change the name back to Westpac because Sky stadium doesnt roll off the tongue as nicely. the donuts are good though

Went on the spur of the moment to watch a game amongst 2 teams that none of us actually support. It is a fantastic venue with easy access both in and out. Going out after the game was a doddle for most people as it is within easy walking distance to Wellingtons amazing train service. The stadium is well set out and seating is such that you can easily see all aspects of the field.

Great stadium for sports and concerts. The shape keeps guests close to the action.What lets it down is the wait for food. Last weekend at Six60, we had to queue for 45mins for some pretty basic food. Stadium management need to work on improving this.

The Stadium hosts the Hurricanes in Super Rugby, Wellington Phoenix in the A-League, Wellington Lions in Mitre 10 Cup, as well as NZ national teams like the All Blacks and Blackcaps.Concerts in recent years include Queen and Adam Lambert, Eminem, Guns n Roses. There are also exhibitions like Armageddon, Home and Garden, the Food Show and other events like the Wellington Marathon.The Members Club provides access to all sporting events and has three lounges with a wider range of catering options than the main concourse.

Had an amazing experience watching an ODI cricket match at Westpac Stadium (Wellington Regional Stadium) earlier this year. The stadium resembled a tin from the outside and for this reason, it is also known as The Cake Tin. The event was well-managed. Regulation of the spectators into and out of the stadium was done in an orderly manner. During entry into the stadium, our bags were checked. Outside each aisle, there were stalls selling eatables and there were also water fountains where we could fill water in our bottles for free. The view of the entire ground with its bright yellow seats was spectacular, both in the afternoon sun as well as under the floodlights. I could clearly witness the action at the center without any obstruction. Atmosphere in the stadium was lively though a few stands were empty. Though the stadium is a bit away from the city centre, most of the crowd were seen to be walking back to Wellington city centre. The stadium is also well connected by trains to the Hutt Valley region.

Attended eminem concert here - location great but vip tickets included being able to go back to dedicated bar for drinks and no queues for food/drink/toilet - but our seats were the other end of the stadium- so no way we could use these facilities. VIP area very well run, food was fantastic and very attentive staff.

Review №54

Totally loved the lions experience which why I gave it a 5 however small points cubicals instead of urinals is plain dumb. One entrance and exit is stupid how are you meant to get out early in the event of fire or major incident. There should be doors to the concourse every 25m this them means it wont take 30 minutes to get out of the ground. Other than that awesome

At the stadium tonight bought two glasses of white wine $9.50 each and its the worst wine we have had it strips ones stomach lining. If you are going to charge premium price then provide quality wine... one positive is you can only drink one glass over 80 min game

This Stadium is probably one of the best ive ever been to. Unfortunetly there were a a group of illegal Smokers coming up to the away supporters bay and annoying the away fans. The security got tight when i stepped in but all in all amazing atmosphere has wheelchair access and is a beautiful stadium

Every event is managed so badly, they never expect a crowd even when sold out. Ive seen outdoir events managed quicker and much more efficient with cold drinks thank this place. Ive been here a lot, take a night out if a $10 burger and throw it away. This last time they had the supervisor, 2 bar staff sitting 1 beer. Was funny to see, with the very long queue all laughing st such fun.

I have attended many events here & always a great time everytime! Recent was the Armaggedon Expo, it was very cold, but that was just bad timing & the fact it was winter. This venue works well for events like Armageddon & the Food show to keep the public flowing through. With plenty of options for outside stages & plenty of indoor function rooms.

Review №86

Food is rubbish (although better than it was), service is bad and entry prices are high. Atmosphere can be electric when its full, so sellout internationals are worth it (although for cricket its rarely a good cricket pitch for batting). Otherwise OK. Beervana is good here.

Close to town and good for watching some rugby, would get five stars if it was square.The Cake Tin is the fabled location where John Eales kicked a sensational late penalty goal in 2000 to give the Wallabies a 24-23 win to draw the series 1-all and retain the trophy.
