Forsyth Barr stadium boss excited for crowds at Highlanders

From Checkpoint, 5:36 pm on 23 March 2022

The inside party's just doubled in size and for outdoor sport stadiums it's spectator heaven with crowd limits pretty much gone altogether.

A relaxation of Covid restrictions mean in door venues can have 200 inside guests - up from 100.

That's as long as they are seated and separated. Outside, all restrictions are off, with new rules coming in midnight Friday.

So where does that leave Dunedin's Forsyth Barr stadiu with its cosy covered roof, when it hosts the Highlanders v Blues game this Saturday?

If you talk to venue boss Terry Davies - he's on cloud nine.
