    @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.

      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

      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.

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

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

                                          the Canterbury earthquakes highlighted how underinsured a lot of NZ were (largely still are) for both private and commercial insurances.

                                          What's the situation now? Can you even get earthquake insurance in NZ?
