Originally known as Stadium Southland, the stadium in Invercargill was opened in 2000. In September 2010 a heavy snowfall caused the main stadium roof to collapse. There were several investigations into the damage, and construction defects and material deficiencies were identified as contributing to the collapse. A new stadium renamed ILT Stadium Southland was opened in 2014.
