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

      @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 🙂

                Everyone I know calls it the stadium.

                We’re not very creative down these here parts

                  @Kiwiwomble I've heard people up north refer to the stadium as a whole as the zoo, always annoys me.

                        I don’t understand why sponsors don’t want to attach their name to the current name - ASB Eden Park is much better than ASB Stadium and ASB get the same recognition - plus the kudos of the Fern.

                        Just like NPC, shouldn’t be ITM Cup, should be ITM NPC.

                            See, if they’d retained the name NPC I’d be more inclined to remember which building supplies company was the current sponsor!

                            I look forward to the Bunnings NPC in the future.

                              @Nepia agreed, it makes it seem like a different competition rather than just a sponsor change

                                Cardiff is still the Arms Park to me. Twickenham could be KFC stadium but it would still be Twickenham. Lancaster Park would be the same had it not been ruined.

                                I do hope that ASB would keep Eden Park though. ASB Eden Park works just fine for me. Otherwise you end up with ASB stadium at Eden Park like Pricipality stadium at Cardiff Arms Park.

                                      But is it though? I get the ADIDAS thing on the AB brand but is that the case of a park? Because of the "brand"?

                                          Seems strange that a trust that has been putting their hand out for years cause they're ALWAYS in the shit financially have never sold the naming rights.. such a simple income stream.. what's their excuse?!

                                          Operationally, Eden Park makes money - the loss is because of depreciation.
