In light of these revelations for Auckland, it would be good if it were kept to a 15,000-25,000 capacity max.
Aucklanders are fickle. Aucklanders have also seemingly fallen out of love with attending live sport - There is no reason to have another 40,000-50,000 seat stadium that gets filled out 2-3 times max per year, especially if Eden Park redevelopments do still go ahead.
Would be happy to see developers take a leaf out of the USL Championship/USL League One playbook in terms of building from the ground up.
Memphis 901, Indy Eleven, Milwaukee Pro Soccer - All works are in the pipeline or will start development at some point in the near future. Heaps of other examples coming out too because Americans love to build a stadium!

You just know that the developers circling such a project will absolutely be looking to develop a precinct so that they can get their pound of flesh as well - Accommodation, Food, Apartments, Hospitality, Bars etc etc.
