Award for stadium

Forsyth Barr Stadium won an excellence award in the tourism and leisure category at the 2012 Property Council New Zealand Industry Awards in Auckland last night.

The judges said achieving a natural grass playing surface under a fixed and transparent roof was a "world-first".

The $224.4 million stadium provided "certainty for protection from the weather disruption that hampered traditional sporting arenas," the judges said.
