Story

Das Basin Reserve ist ein Cricketstadion in Wellington, Neuseeland. Es wurde 1868 eröffnet und ist das älteste Cricketstadion Neuseelands. Das Stadion ist Austragungsort für internationale Test Matches und One-Day Internationals.Kapazität & InfrastrukturWegen der langen Tradition steht das Stadion als einzige Sportstätte auf der National Heritage list. Im Gegensatz zu anderen herkömmlichen Cricketstadien weist das Basin Reserve einige Besonderheiten auf: Das Spielfeld ist nicht von großen Tribünen umrandet. Die großen Grasflächen bieten viel Platz für die Zuschauer, die meist das Match auf Decken liegend verfolgen. Eine weitere Besonderheit ist, dass das Cricketfeld direkt von hohen Bergen umgeben ist: Mount Victoria und Mount Cook. Dies bietet Schutz vor Wind und die Wärme der Sonne bleibt dort länger erhalten. Das Cricketstadion wird daher auch als island of cricket bezeichnet. Die Kapazität des Stadions beträgt 11.600 Plätze. Die beiden Wicketenden tragen die Namen Vance Stand End und Scoreboard End.Geschichte1855 gab es ein Erdbeben in der Region. Erst dadurch wurde genügend Platz für ein Cricketfeld und die umliegenden Gebäude frei. Zur selben Zeit stieg die Beliebtheit von Cricket und man entschied sich für die Errichtung eines Stadions. 1857 setzten sich viele berühmte Bewohner Wellingtons für die Errichtung eines Cricketfeldes ein. Die Baukosten wurden zur Hälfte von Cricketspielern übernommen, die andere Hälfte wurde von staatlicher Seite bereitgestellt. 1868, 13 Jahre nach dem Erdbeben, fand das erste Cricket-Match statt. Am 11. Dezember 1866 wurde offizielle festgelegt, dass der Cricket ground das Heimatstadion für den Wellington Cricketclub ist. Am 30. November 1873 fand das erste First-Class-Match zwischen Wellington und Auckland statt.

Fabulous Cricket ground bang in the heart of Wellington
Went to the Night Noodle Market here last week. Really cool venue for this, hope they have it here again. Lots of space to move around unlike at Frank Kitts park. Security and entry/exit was easy as always at the Basin. Loved having a walk around on the hallowed turf at the end of the cricket season too.
Great beer was severed here awesome location for festivals
Beyond a shadow of a doubt the best Cricket venue in New Zealand. Go Blackcaps
One of the world's most iconic cricket grounds and certainly the most iconic cricket ground in New Zealand. The Basin Reserve has a rich history and is a real treat for the ardent cricket fan. The ground has two gates Dempster and Reid gates which are open to public on non-match days such that cyclists and pedestrians can enter from one gate and exit via the other. Took a walk along the picket-fencing on the boundary on a quiet Sunday morning, recollecting all the great moments this iconic ground has produced in the cricketing world. Seating for spectators can be either on the grass embankments, or seats in the R.H. Vance stand and the Pavilion. In terms of spectator capacity, it can accommodate only a few thousand people, which is significantly lesser than the Westpac Stadium. There is a cricket museum, which unfortunately was closed when I was there. On the pedestrian/cycle track around the playing field, there are plaques containing feats accomplished at the Basin Reserve. Highly recommended for cricket enthusiasts to visit this historic venue in Wellington!
Probably the best ground for Youth rugby in Wellington. Drains well, parking isn’t too bad early Saturday morning.
Great welcome & atmosphere. Many Thanks
Lovely spot to watch cricket!
This is another good venue for cricket and there is superior food and drinks to other venues- look at the ice blocks! On the downside it is very exposed to the sun do bring your sun protection and it can be very windy. Parking is also an issue so best to use public transport like a bus to get here and return. The best place is normally on the bank but you can retreat in the grandstand if the sun gets too much hot for you in the afternoon . There are a number of entry and exit points. Frequently the wellington weather plays a part in the game with sessions being called off.
Iconic ground to watch test cricket. Lovely range of dining cuisine. Cambodian, Thai, Greek,, Argentina, Italian and waffles, gelato, chips in sauce
