It really depends on the crowds.
Some piss in your garden, climb up on the fence, throw bottles etc.
Others are just quite loud in what is an otherwise fairly quiet area. There’s a lot of road restrictions in place and near gridlock pre- and post game. It can mean not being able to get access to your property easily at certain times of the day. Worrying if someone will walk behind or in front of your car as you go out the driveway. It makes it harder and harder to have a normal life.
And the residents that I know are already fairly gracious about having to put up with that once or twice or (three times with a concert and a couple of games?) a week for a better part of a year. And apparently about 80% were fine with a few more concerts. EDIT: apparently 32 events a year. I’m not sure if that’s 32 in the evenings or 26 games and 6 concerts plus other daytime events…
As well you never know when you might have a sharke day or week at work or in your relationships and you just wanna go home, without several thousand people walking past your front gate.
Especially considering the character of people who represent Eden Park, claiming that Taylor Swift was coming when they clearly couldn’t provide the arena size required. They’re a bunch of sharke stirrers just grabbing all the money they can, while everyone else is being told to cut back. They no longer bother hiding their bad faith in asking for the parliament to override everything just for them…
And dealing with the lovely people who think the treaty is infringing their rights to have daily and nightly concerts and events in the middle of suburban Auckland, when they had no interest in helping the local music industry in central Auckland as retirees bought apartments and then complained and shut down long running venue or a bunch of other hypocrisies…
But yeh, Eden Park is plenty busy. It’s just a terrible location for the stadium that it obviously aspires to be.
If it was a downtown stadium they’d be able do construction at night most likely?
