In focus: Warriors crowds and venues

Attendance figures from Mount Smart and around the grounds.

WARRIORS 1995-2025 BOOK CHAPTER MENU

The Auckland Warriors’ average crowds in 1995-96 were second only to Brisbane’s, before attendances dwindled. Crowd averages from 2011-14 were boosted by taking home games to Eden Park and Wellington, but the club’s 2018 figures – the third-best in Warriors history at the time – were achieved playing solely at Mount Smart Stadium.

The Warriors’ ‘Up the Wahs’ era from 2023 onwards routinely attracted sellout crowds (including an unprecedented cleansweep of ‘Full House’ signs in 2024) and staggering season averages.
