BCU International Stadium

BCU International Stadium (formerly Coffs Coast International Stadium), located on Stadium Drive off Hogbin Drive - just 3.5km from the City Centre, is a first class sporting facility hosting local, regional, national and international sporting events.

As one of Coffs Harbour's most valuable and best used assets, BCU International Stadium caters for a range of sport and entertainment, providing an international standard facility. Opened in June 1994 and covering approximately 2.3 hectares, the stadium has played host to many major events.

These include rock concerts, rodeos, soccer, rugby and Australian rules football. The Stadium has a capacity for 20,000 spectators, with 936 permanent grandstand seats. Six towers provide ample lighting for night use and 17 kilometres of strip drainage ensures the playing surface is always at a high standard.

The BCU International Stadium is the best facility of its type in regional NSW and is truly up to international standards. In mid-2001, the stadium played host to minor World Cup Qualifiers with the Socceroos playing teams such as Fiji and American Samoa.
