Eden Park

Nepia

@Duluth This was what I was saying a few months ago when posters were taking pot shots at the residents. There's one very vocal guy who's leading a a tiny group of whingers and that's all the press has focussed on until now.

A mate of mine works in the stats department at Auckland Uni. He was one of the participants given the survey. He wrote to the senior editor at Stuff advising them that the survey was structured in such a way as to be biased towards this result, and it was unlikely that anything of statistical significance could be determined from it. I guess they went ahead and published anyway.

@Nepia always the way!

Vocal minority, claiming to be part of the majority scream louder.

Big bump.

ASB is expected to be named the sole naming rights sponsor of Eden Park tomorrow. ASB Stadium?

Yeetyaah

Be nice if they kept the Eden part. ASB Eden Park maybe? If they're spending the money it'd make sense for it to just be ASB Stadium or ASB Park.

Whatever it will be called it sounds like the new name will be in place for Bled 2.

You'd hope ASB want to cash in on the record of Eden Park, as in AB's undefeated at ASB Eden Park for X years, X+10 years vs wallabies.

Probably something like that - that's how Lancaster Park was referred to (Jade Stadium).

Don't know where else to post this.

End of an era: Eden Park set to be renamed

That’s very disappointing.

Will always be Eden Park to me. Understand the new realities, but it’s still a bit upsetting.

I will ban anyone who refers to Eden Park as anything other than Eden Park.

I've been to 3 rugby games there, and the ground had a different name on each of those occasions.

A sponsor will want their name to be prominent if they are paying millions for naming rights.

Was the other way round at Lancaster Park i.e. Jade Stadium at Lancaster Park. Commentators tried just calling it Lancaster Park at first, but got pulled into line by someone over it (for the obvious commercial reasons of not giving sponsors their money's worth) and it just became Jade Stadium over time.

booboo

I'd accept ASB Eden Park.

Not ASB Stadium.

Who calls the Wellington Stadium anything but the Cake Tin? It will always and only be Eden Park

taniwharugby

@Hooroo I thought someone on here told us a while back people in Wellington dont call it the caketin?

Which basically meant most people do call it the Caketin

booboo

@taniwharugby @Hooroo yeah Wellingtonians get precious about 'The Stadium'.
