Introduction
Forsyth Barr Stadium is Dunedin's indoor venue, opened in 2011 and famous for its inflatable, translucent roof — the Southern Hemisphere's first fully covered, light-transmitting stadium, hosting rugby, football and concerts in any weather. It seats about 30,000 and is home to the Highlanders; the roof glows strikingly under lights.
