Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (No opening/construction date for the venue itself could be confirmed; only the dates of its various sponsor-name eras are documented. Pukekohe sits roughly 40km south of central Auckland but falls within the Auckland Council super-city boundary (the former Franklin District), so the site's Auckland (Pukekohe) area field is administratively accurate rather than misleading, unlike some other paired area fields flagged elsewhere on this site.) |
