Effuzi Albany Arena stadium chairs installed at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Otago

Effuzi International supplied their Albany Arena stadium chairs at the Forsyth Barr Stadium in Otago.

Completed in August 2011, Dunedin’s new stadium is New Zealand's largest indoor arena and the second largest in the southern hemisphere after Melbourne’s Telstra Stadium. The world-class facility can host a range of sporting, entertainment and cultural events regardless of the weather.

The country’s only fully enclosed, natural turf stadium, the Otago Stadium features a natural grass pitch and a fixed, transparent ETFE roof that keeps the temperature inside the arena 3-4 degrees warmer in summer and 2-3 degrees warmer in winter.

Effuzi supplied 18,000 Albany Arena stadium chairs for the North and South stands out of an overall permanent seating capacity of approximately 20,000. The Albany seat colours were selected to ensure maximum reflection of light to enhance the natural turf growth whilst providing favourable results for television media regardless of spectator numbers.
