Build it like the new Raiders stadium in Vegas. Check out the walkthroughs on Youtube

Apparently the new Rams stadium in LA will be even better

[dogmeat]

@nzzp yup - don't know if it still is but when I was involved in using it as a venue it was the most utilised such facility in the country.

Wow. Both those stadiums are sexy as fuck but especially the Raiders' stadium.

The megatron at the LA stadium surely won't be as obtrusive as it looks based on that massive model?!

In the mean time: New name for Christchurch stadium

Christchurch Stadium is set to be renamed Orangetheory Stadium, named after the global gym chain that has bought the naming rights.

The new name will take effect on June 10. The venue will continue to be Christchurch Stadium until then.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer what ever happened to it being called Wyatt Crockett stadium?

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah That was only for one or two games.

So we've got the Caketin in Wellington, the Glasshouse in Dunedin and now the Fruitbowl in Christchurch.

[Stargazer]

@Cyclops Haha, I actually think Fruitbowl is a better name than that mouthful "Orangetheory Stadium"

@canefan Not at test level. It's the hardest ground in the world to win at.

Yeah yeah. Just making an attempt at humour. And clearly failing miserably

Maybe it's late but I thought it read "Orangutangy Stadium" at first....
