Ericsson Stadium - For the stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA formerly known as 'Ericsson Stadium', see Bank of America Stadium.
Ericsson Stadium, formerly Mount Smart Stadium, is a stadium in Auckland, New Zealand. It is located 10 kilometres south of the city centre, in the suburb of Penrose. It currently serves as the home ground for the New Zealand Warriors of the Australian National Rugby League. It was once the home of the Football Kingz of the Australian National Soccer League; however, its A-League successor, the New Zealand Knights, will play on the other side of Auckland Harbour at North Harbour Stadium. The stadium hosted track and field events, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1990 Commonwealth Games. It is also the Auckland venue of the Big Day Out music festival. The Eastern Stand, built in 1995 for the Warriors' first season, was demolished at the conclusion of the 2003 National Rugby League season to make way for a new stand, with a roof, corporate and dining facilities, training facilites for the Warriors as well as offices for the team management, which was completed in late 2004. The new stand has raised ground capacity to an estimated 25,000.
