    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.

                            @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.

                              I like it!

                              My wife and I are on a medium term plan to move back to NZ and have bought land about an hour out of Christchurch.

                              Going to AB and Chiefs games under the roof will be awesome, and this should help the city develop.

                              Excellent!

                                  @NTA Wellington is harder to insure than the SI, many of the large risks are being placed with off shore insurers (like Lloyds) with huge excesses.

                                  But outside Wellington earthquake cover still largely available although they are imposing stricter terms, and domestic is largely dealt with by the EQC, although insurer rates for pre 1940 homes are usually much higher south of Taupo and I think IAG (NZI, AMI, State, Lantern) are not keen on parts of Wellington for domestic risks

                                    That stadium looks nice. I think the business case depends on how many concerts you can actually attract.

                                      A 25K stadium probably means only tier 2 test matches with Auckland and Wellington to still get the big tests.

                                        I like it!

                                        My wife and I are on a medium term plan to move back to NZ and have bought land about an hour out of Christchurch.

                                        Going to AB and Chiefs games under the roof will be awesome, and this should help the city develop.

                                        Excellent!

                                        Umm, the crusaders are from Christchurch, not the chiefs....

                                        😜

                                        Except for when we kick their asses regular season or in the playoffs, or both!
