Tane Norton Park, formally and also known as Linfield Park, is a multi-purpose stadium in the suburb of Linwood in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is used for rugby and football matches. It is the home stadium of Metropolitan Premier side Linwood Rugby, and Southern League and National League side Coastal Spirit.[3][4]
In 2024, the stadiums name was changed to Tane Norton Park as a mark of respect to the local All Black Tane Norton, who died in 2023.
Throughout the years, Linfield Park has also been used as a training site for the Crusaders, Canterbury and the All Blacks, also being used by the Wallabies and the Warriors.[5][6][7]
Throughout the year, the field is also used as a neutral ground for the local High School Rugby Premiership league matches. It is also used for rugby tournaments all through the year, with Coastal Spirit hosting the Adidas Coastal Spirit FC U19 Tournament during Labour Weekend.
History
[edit]In 2009, $NZ160,000 was spent on drainage and resurfacing the ground, after it became unplayable from wet weather.[5]
In 2010/11, the Canterbury United Dragons used Linfield Park for the opening 3 matches for the 2010–11 New Zealand Football Championship, with the Dragons home ground English Park having an artificial turf installed.[5][8] With delays at English Park, Linfield Cultural Recreational Sports Club accepted the request to host the remaining 2 out of 3 matches at Linfield.[9]
In 2013-2015, FIFA announced that Linfield Park would be one of the venue-specific training site for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, requiring sand-based fields similar to AMI Stadium.[10] The project was apart of a funding effort between the Christchurch City Council, FIFA and Mainland Football.
In 2019, Coastal Spirit played their home matches at Cuthberts Green, but due to poor conditions and not being up to the standards in the recent years, the decision was made to move the club to Linfield in 2020 were there were already two fields and temporary changing rooms allocated to them.[2]
In 2024, New Zealand Football/FIFA installed a Sportway AI camera to provide coverage of Southern League and National League matches via the camera.[11][12] All matches were broadcasted to FIFA's streaming site, FIFA+.
