General Mt Smart Stadium

[Wahs Up TV]

I agree we need a proper (RECTANGULAR) stadium, but disagree that it needs to be anywhere near the waterfront.

If you look at the great stadiums around the world, they tend to be in central locations but not in absolutely prime space - the likes of Twickenham, MCG, Suncorp, the various grounds in Sydney. I would argue that Melbourne, London, Sydney and Brisbane are definitely proper cities.

So whats the logical equivalent in auckland? Vic Park?

Cool little tidbit for tonite:

Warriors match first major sports game to be mainly solar powered

The solar panels are estimated to cut the stadium's energy costs by $150,000 annually.

Good sign for the future of Mt Smart if they're spending 7 figures on solar.

Now can they put in a few more bloody toilets!

It is good to see investment being made into the ground. A lot different to about 10 years ago when it looked like no investment in the ground and the club would be forced out.

Being the most used stadium in Auckland or whatever the term they us helps. Also the Warriors pulling in the crowds.

Let's hope the Warriors keep having years similar to 2023 and 2025 on the field. Also over all since returning from covid with the crowds. It will put them in a stronger position with any negotiations for upgrades, rents, or future stadium plans.

I pray for a permanent, roofed South Stand

You never know. Sounds like Auckland FC are staying put at Mt Smart so their owners may throw some money into the place (unlikely now they have their helipad consent)
