The Otago Stadium has received a strong vote of support from the Dunedin City Council with a 10-5 vote to continue the project - subject to conditions.
Dunedin's proposed Awatea St Stadium is a waste of money because most people watch sport on television, an Otago Regional Council panel was told in Alexandra yesterday.
The Carisbrook Stadium Trust's push to raise private funding for the Awatea St stadium had passed the $14 million mark, trust chairman Malcolm Farry said yesterday.
Visits to Invercargill and Queenstown to sell seating packages, and one-on-one meetings with people in Gore, had been "satisfactory", he said.
