Excellent! As a South American hard-core football fan, I was blown away by the diversity of entertainment options, the family friendly environment and the amenities at the stadium for an AFC game. I was met by an easy access, people giving you posters and The Warehouse gift cards. Descended to a magnificent Christmas tree and heaps of options for food and drinks. Getting to the seats was easy and ...

Great stadium with great facilities. Parking can be challenging during game days due to road closures, but for social events or meetings, there is plenty of parking available around the stadium. The atmosphere is lively, and there are numerous concession stands offering food and drinks.

Really enjoyed our time in this stadium! We were invited by my friend who is a member of Pixies so got a glimpse behind the curtains as well, but accessed the venue with everyone else walking along the surrounding streets and finding ample entry ways, easy-to-access food trucks, and easy in-and-out bathrooms and facilities. The crowd was amazing and the sunset views spectacular!

When is the best time to visit Go Media Stadium (Auckland, New Zealand)?

From March to September, catch a Warriors NRL match—bring jackets for cooler evenings. In the soccer season (October–April), pack sunscreen and hats. Kid rides run only on match days; check the stadium calendar for family-friendly fixtures.
