Sky’s sponsorship (and naming rights) didn’t begin until the 1st of January 2020. The Eminem concert in 2019 was held at Westpac Stadium, at least that’s what my ticket said. If it was the venue that won, then simply call it the Wellington Regional Stadium, but to retcon the new sponsorship onto a period it did not apply to is pretty sketchy in my book.

Well spotted, greenwelly. An appalling bit of sneakiness by Sky.
The nominee for the award was actually Westpac Stadium for Te Matatini ki te Ao 2019 and Eminem Rapture 2019 so it’s difficult to see that Sky deserves the credit.
