Hnry Stadium

History

Wellington Regional Stadium (commercially known as Hnry Stadium through naming rights) is a multi-purpose stadium in Wellington, New Zealand. It is known colloquially as "The Cake Tin". It was built to replace Athletic Park, which was no longer considered adequate for international events due to its location and state of disrepair. The stadium was also built to provide a larger-capacity venue for One Day International cricket matches, due to the Basin Reserve ground losing such matches to larger stadiums in other parts of the country.
