    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.

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

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

                                      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?

                                          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?

                                          @NTA It's definitely getting harder to get insurance after the two SI (Chch & Kaikoura) earthquakes. We just reinsured at work (in Wellington) and it's gone up $400K from the previous year.

                                          25,000 capacity seems pretty small but I guess it won't look so bad on TV when Cantabs stop using it after 8-10 years.
