New Zealand security provider Red Badge Group delivers security and safety for opening events at Christchurch’s new One Stadium.
The first major sporting event at Christchurch’s new One New Zealand Stadium took place on the weekend of April 24–26, 2026.
The venue officially opened with the Super Rugby Pacific “Super Round,” featuring a sold-out opening match between the Crusaders and the Waratahs. A big team from Red Badge was there to ensure the safety and security of the event.
“These moments have been about preparation, coordination, and making sure everything runs as it should… It’s the kind of groundwork that sits behind every major event – steady, detailed, and led by experienced people.”
The stadium has 25,000 permanent seats with capacity for a further 5,000 temporary seats, and has a maximum capacity of 37,000 for concerts.
According to Red Badge, the big event was preceded by significant preparations. “In the lead-up, our team has been on site for the past two weeks getting familiar with the venue and refining processes,” explained a Red Badge update on LinkedIn.
