Oh, yeah!!!
More football at the new temple of sport here in the Garden City.
This will get a big crowd.
I'm predicting the biggest A-League attendance in Christchurch ever!
A big turnout will add credibility to Chch getting an A-League side too!

One New Zealand Stadium will host the Nix women’s and men’s teams for the very first time on Saturday, February 6 as they each face Western Sydney Wanderers.

The women’s side will kick off at 2.15pm before the men play at 5pm.

If NZF setup an active support standing bay (White Noise) for the AWs v India game in Nov, that will be a useful dry run so to speak.

I predict a huge crowd clambering to get in, even scaling the walls and roof of the stadium, for sure:

The full announcement called out the active zone and the fact it’s effectively GA, so hopefully that’s a good sign:

There will be an active supporters zone at One New Zealand Stadium, which will include fans drumming, singing, and not sitting in their allocated seats.

Tickets will go on sale for the match late next week, with a members’ pre-sale opening the day before tickets are available to the general public.

From the article on the Nix website which includes enthusastic comments from the venue manager, I'm sure that ther stadium will facilitate the usual active supporter zone.
The body that manages the new stadium is the same as the body that managed the previous Addington stadium, so things should go okay if they did last season in Chch.

Would have loved to make it down for this one, but life! Had a scoot round the stadium perimeter the other week, looks epic. Best stadium in NZ

Just booked my flights. Be aware that the Sunday CCH to WLG return flights with the national carrier are already very pricey (in my view).  I have booked Air NZ southbound on Saturday morning and Jetstar northbound on Sunday evening.

Accommodation is also getting pricey, especially around the CBD and stadium, but there are still some reasonable options (at least for now).
