Question for someone who is in the know.
From various sources it appears that one of the fundamental reasons why the A league is struggling and has not taken off like other similar leagues is that.
1: No clubs own their grounds like the MLS.
2: The stadiums they are playing in are generally massive beasts when a 12 x 15k stadium appears perfect for most.
My question is does anyone know how much it roughly costs to play each week at the various grounds?
A: The cake tin
B: Mt Smart
C: Eden park?

I'd imagine Mt Smart is significantly cheaper - based on NZF having used it for Chatham Cup games before.
Eden Park probably lots more - probably a six figure bill in traffic management alone hah.
