ILT Stadium Southland is a multi-purpose indoor stadium at 18 Surrey Park Road, Surrey Park, Invercargill. It describes itself as a venue able to host sporting events, conferences, exhibitions and concerts.
According to Wikipedia, the stadium opened on 25 March 2000 at a cost of NZ$11.3 million. It was owned by the Southland Indoor Leisure Centre Charitable Trust, with naming rights held by the Invercargill Licensing Trust. After a 2010 roof collapse it was redeveloped, with works completed in 2014. The rebuilt facility includes an enlarged entrance, a community court area, upgraded seating and sound, and a climbing wall. Current capacity is listed as 4,019. It is home to the Southern Steel netball team and the Southland Sharks basketball team.
The venue runs community programmes alongside events, and its website lists school holiday activities, pickleball and championship events. Published hours are Monday to Friday 7:30am to 8:00pm and weekends 8:30am to 5:00pm, varying with events. The website does not give detailed room capacities, so organisers should contact the venue on (03) 219 9310.
The stadium suits large-format gatherings in Southland, such as expos, sports events, concerts and conferences needing a big open floor. Confirm configurations and catering with the venue.
