Forsyth Barr Stadium is a covered multi-purpose stadium in Dunedin, New Zealand, and the only fully covered stadium in the country. It is the home of the Highlanders in Super Rugby and features a natural grass pitch under a permanent ETFE roof. Known locally as "The Glasshouse," the stadium was built for the 2011 Rugby World Cup and provides a unique all-weather playing environment. The covered design creates an intense atmosphere that amplifies crowd noise.
