Walking and Public Transport to Forsyth Barr Stadium
Forsyth Barr Stadium is on Butts Road, 1.7 km from Dunedin centre.
The supplied venue information identifies surrounding streets and harbour-area parking, but does not name a nearest rail station or publish a station-to-stadium walking time. No rail route can therefore be given here without adding an unsupported distance or journey time.
Those distances are suitable for planning the return walk after a late event.
