General Mt Smart Stadium

[Billyspleen75]

The promo material has enhanced end stands, a new north stand that looks like the redeveloped south side and a retractable roof… that caters for rugby, league, cricket and football. Opportunity missed to turn it into a rectangle ground and set up cricket elsehwere in Auckland. Cricket at Eden Park is an embarassing joke!

Exactly. I am very pro Waterfront Stadium, but I would not mind the Eden Park bid if they did away with Cricket and nailed the "club mode".

8000 capacity. Jesus that’s setting expectations low isn’t it!!!

A few people saying that 8k is a typo/incorrect, and should read as 18k.
When Auckland FC were announced, Bill Foley kept talking about building a 17.5k stadium

Half of the articles I see these days about Eden Park are the locals having another whinge about how their lives are being affected by events at the stadium they decided to move next to

Surely government isn't trying to get MORE events there, how rude!

What a mess. If they build the new configuration with cricket in mind, it'll be a total shit show.

Eden Park is a shocker

Wonder if the Blues will move to the 8K stadium and if it'll still be half empty
