Would love them to turn Ben Burn park into Phoenix stadium - but for purely selfish reasons.

We used to live by Eden Park when I was a kid, my sister would sell our backyard for parking at $20 a hit, this was in the 90's when $20 was worth allot more than it is now. She would pocket $100 for a few minutes work, not bad for a 10 year old.

Friends of the family used to lived right up against the boundary, they used to put up scaffolding against the fence and we would all watch from our private stand. Eden park eventually bought out their landlord and demolished the place.

Plus we used to always find things in our backyard from where people staggering up the hill fell over our fence. Scored a pretty cool hat that way.


If parking is really going to be that bad the Nimbys should treat it as a opportunity! Make a bit of extra pocket money for no work by renting out your driveway or backyard.
