    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 said in Stadium of Canterbury:

      @Rapido This is exactly the original plan for North Harbour Stadium The outer oval with embankments and oak trees was envisaged as being developed into a boutique cricket ground using the amenities and corporate facilities of the main stand.

      Unfortunately pro rugby overtook events and all plans went out the window. Plus they forgot Albany is like 4.5 hours from downtown Auckland and TBF the view of the Warehouse isn't quite as appealing a backdrop as The Remarkables.

      I understand that NH was the only Auckland Council sports ground that covers its costs due to high usage as a conference facility.

      @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.
