Wellington is a compact city nestled between an expansive harbour and bush-clad hills.
Wellington Regional Stadium, Wellington
Capacity: 40,000
Address: Waterloo Quay, Wellington
The distinctive design of the Stadium has earned it the nickname “the Cake Tin”. It was completed in 2000, just south of Wellington's city centre.
Maybe it's the design, but the atmosphere seems to be more electric here than at your regular sporting arena. During a cricket match there, Peter Jackson recorded 30,000 fans chanting for a battle scene for his film the Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers. That'll give you some idea of what you're in for during Rugby World Cup 2011.
There’s an impressive Rugby World Cup line up planned for Wellington Regional Stadium with South Africa, France, Wales and Australia all featured in the pool games leading up to the double header quarter-finals weekend.
