History


The ground was originally called Fraser Park, and was renamed Alpine Energy Stadium in 1995. That same year, overhead floodlights were installed for night games at the park.


Tenants


The stadium is the home ground of the South Canterbury Rugby Team, who play in the Heartland Championship.


Stadium


The stadium had two main stands until April 2016 the east stand was closed permanently due to damage. Otherwise, the stadium is surrounded by embankment.


Temporary site for games from Christchurch


In the wake of the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the Christchurch Super Rugby team, the Crusaders, moved two Super 15 seasonal games (versus the Bulls and the Blues) to Alpine Energy Stadium.[1]
