Here’s Alex K”s look at inside Eden Park, which was officially opened today with a chance for the public to wander around.
The new Entrance A off Walters Street
The Entrance A promenade that leads around into the stadium proper
Part of setting the fun at the opening
A vista of the new South Stand
The stadium views from the Eastern stand
The Umaga-inspired mascot was a hit with the kids
Prime Minister John Key makes the rounds before he officially opens the stadium
The new change rooms for the players
The docking and cargo management sections that run under the new South Stadium
The kitchen facilities are very impressive and everything is very new & shiny
The coach and staff viewing booths
The Pre-opening entertainment was fun if a little odd
Supermayor Len Brown says some words about the success of the new stadium
Prime Minister John Key officially opens the new stadium
Time to meet the people
One of two new jumbotrons to be used in the stadium - the second is still under construction
The food areas look good but don't count on those prices come RWC time!
New Entrance D off Walters Road - looks world class

Great photo’s Alex - I have some more Exterior Ones on my blog at http://aucklandinfrastructure.blogspot.com for anybody who couldn’t get there today.
Have to say that Super Screen is very impressive I must have left before they turned it on.
It is rightly named ‘The Garden of Eden’
Nice coverage of the opening of the open day.
Some 360′s of Eden park can be found here

Very Nice!! It would look even better if there weren’t gaps between the grand stands! Anyway, looks very modern and clean!
Not a rugby fan, but looks nice - especially like the carved statues.
