How long before the cry goes up again to put a roof on the Cake Tin? Or maybe bowl the whole thing and build something new to match Dunedin and Christchurch. 

A roof on Sky stadium would have made sense when it was being built, retro fitting one would cost more than the stadium did when first built. If we had a ready to go cricket venue then I'd be happy to see Sky knoocked down, sold for scrap and a rectangular football/dugby stadium built in it's place. If only we had a circular ground for cricket in the city. Oh wait we do, it just needs some money spent on the stands to increase its capacity to the original 18k.
