The Government is set to make an announcement on Christchurch's new stadium this week.
A stadium is among the city's rebuild projects and officials have been debating about how many seats it should have, whether it should be covered, and if it will be for sports only or a multi-use arena.
There is also the question of who will pay for it. A feasibility study has recommended a 25,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof and playing field, at a cost of nearly $500 million.
The city council has already committed $250 million and bought three blocks of land for its construction. Labour has committed $300m to all of the rebuild projects, but is leaving it up to the council to decide how that money is spent.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said today that at least some of that money will be in the Budget next month.
