Problem with building a new stadium in town would be where the heck could you even put it? Newtown Park is a no no unless you were to keep the running track, could put it where the logs go on the waterfront but then it’s literally right next to Sky Stadium. Options I can think of would be Kelburn Park (already been shot down by nimbys), Anderson Park (not ideal location and a squeeze), Kilbirnie Park, Rugby League Park in Newtown, MacAllister Park or demolishing and squeezing it in where Courtenay Central is.
A good few options but not sure how feasible any of them would actually be.

What would be wrong with having the stadium next to Sky Stadium? Adelaide (Adelaide Oval & Memorial Drive Tennis Courts) and Melbourne (MCG & Australian Open courts) have precincts next to eachother, and if anything there would be barely any NIMBY feedback due to the fact that there's already a stadium there.
A la Cardiff arms park 👍
FWIW, Upper Hutt would make going very difficult for me. No direct public transport from Porirua pretty much rules it out. Even petone wouldn’t be ideal but at least that transition from Welly central isn’t too bad.
