    In the mean time: New name for Christchurch stadium

    Christchurch Stadium is set to be renamed Orangetheory Stadium, named after the global gym chain that has bought the naming rights.
    
    The new name will take effect on June 10. The venue will continue to be Christchurch Stadium until then.

            So we've got the Caketin in Wellington, the Glasshouse in Dunedin and now the Fruitbowl in Christchurch.

              @Cyclops Haha, I actually think Fruitbowl is a better name than that mouthful "Orangetheory Stadium"

                                  the Canterbury earthquakes highlighted how underinsured a lot of NZ were (largely still are) for both private and commercial insurances.

                                      @NTA It's definitely getting harder to get insurance after the two SI (Chch & Kaikoura) earthquakes. We just reinsured at work (in Wellington) and it's gone up $400K from the previous year.

                                      25,000 capacity seems pretty small but I guess it won't look so bad on TV when Cantabs stop using it after 8-10 years.

                                        I like it!

                                        My wife and I are on a medium term plan to move back to NZ and have bought land about an hour out of Christchurch.

                                        Going to AB and Chiefs games under the roof will be awesome, and this should help the city develop.

                                        Excellent!
