Orangetheory Stadium (formerly AMI Stadium and Christchurch Stadium) is the temporary home of the Crusaders in Super Rugby, built after the original Lancaster Park was damaged in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Despite its smaller capacity, the stadium has maintained the Crusaders' legendary home record — they are the most successful franchise in Super Rugby history with 13 titles. The intimate setting creates an intense atmosphere.
