Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Watching the cricket and wondering if sanity prevails and Auckland opts for a downtown football shaped stadium for football codes instead of upgrading Eden Park (again), could they revamp the stands? Reduce some of the size, move them around, change it up such that Eden Park could become a better sized cricket ground?

If they pulled the first 10 rows of seats that’d probably add 5m in each direction which while still a small ground internationally would make it pretty comparable to other NZ grounds.

Our big cities don’t need dual purpose stadiums, Dunedin & Hamilton have proved that.
