Crusaders first five-eighths Dan Carter will tomorrow mark a major milestone in the journey to bring the Crusaders back home by kicking the first ball over the goal posts at the new Christchurch Stadium.
The Crusaders will play the Cheetahs at the new venue on March 24, which will be the first time they have played in Christchurch since the February 22, 2011 earthquake. AMI Stadium was badly damaged in the earthquake, forcing the Crusaders to find a new home.
With just nine days to go until the game, the new stadium is nearing completion. The turf is down, seating is in, lights have been tested and field markings are down.
The installation of the goal posts tomorrow morning will mark another step to completion and Carter will join construction staff at the stadium to help guide the goal posts into position before testing them out with a kick at goal.
