Your day at the track
Grandstands and viewing spots
Covered seats are in Bays 1 to 8 of the West Stand (the Colin Kay Stand) and in Bays 35 to 43 and 51 to 53 of the East Stand. The stadium is open at the sides, so wind and rain can still reach covered seats. Row A is the row closest to the field. Wheelchair seating is spread across three stands at every ticket price, with 73 mobility seats and 75 escort seats. Which stands open depends on the event.
Facilities
Food and drink outlets sit close to the seating around the stadium, with mobile food trucks added at bigger events. Bars open at most events, and anyone under 25 needs ID (passport, NZ driver licence or HANZ 18+ card) to buy alcohol. Accessible toilets are throughout the venue, along with baby change facilities, a parents room, three wheelchair accessible lifts and four wheelchair accessible gates (A, B, C and the Lilyworld Gate). Gate B, next to the ticket office and the mobility car park, is the main mobility gate.

Getting there
The stadium is at 2 Beasley Avenue, Penrose, south east of central Auckland. Penrose train station is a 10 to 15 minute walk away, and Auckland Stadiums says public parking around the stadium is limited. On site parking opens only for some events. Nearby streets are the other option, some of them close during larger events, and some local businesses open their yards as paid parking. Mobility parking is on site outside Gate B, entered from O'Rorke Road, with a permit issued for each event. Coach parking for concerts is usually on Hugo Johnson Drive. There is no campervan or motorhome parking on site.

The track
Go Media Stadium is the naming rights name of Mt Smart Stadium in Penrose, south east of central Auckland. It is an outdoor stadium with a main arena ringed by stands, plus an international standard athletics facility and function spaces, and it is not fully enclosed. For D1NZ the drift course is set up inside the stadium in front of the grandstand. Supercross has run here before: the Monster Energy SX Open was held at the stadium in November 2018 and November 2019.
