Uhh, still makes me sick looking at it and thinking still not close enough to the field for rugby spectators and not big enough for cricket. Another half-arsed job in Auckland wasting money. The least they could have done with all the money this is costing would`ve have been to make Eden Park a true football field and build a new venue for cricket somewhere else in Auckland. But of course the vested interests of the Eden Park Board would not have that so we continue with a stadium that is not the best for either sport.
Wouldn’t common sence have meant that the stadium became a proper cricket ground (ie remove all but the asb stand) and make the rest embankment. Then we could have had a stadium at tank farm for rugby/soccer which is also capable of hosting athletics (so we could also bid for the Commonwealth games and world athletics?)…o well just another stuff up
Just another typical kiwi cock-up, so after all the previous great stadiums used to host the world cup final we build this dump, as Simon said it’s a half arsed job, too small for cricket and too large for rugby, it almost makes me cry when I imagine what we could have had down on the waterfront. Sometimes it’s very difficult to not be embarassed being a kiwi.
