For nearly four years Lancaster Park (AMI/Jade Stadium) has lain dormant on the city's edge, yet for many it is still a vital part of Christchurch's identity. Opened in 1881, the grounds have played host to thousands of breath-catching moments for those gathered for sport, music or religious events during its long history.
On Canterbury Anniversary Weekend (14-17 November) Australian art collective Field Theory will enter the legendary field of the old stadium. For 72 hours they will digitally broadcast to the world every story that ever happened to anyone there, however small or strange! In an epic feat of endurance, The Stadium Broadcast will be a live tribute to Lancaster Park and to those fragile things we call memory, history and place.
