People here have said stadia in NZ are serious loss making ventures. Europe begs to differ.

NZ's problem is that all current stadia, including the mess in CHC are solely stadiums.

No thought at all has been given to revenue generation on the other 6 days of the week when sport/music isn't on. No stadium in Europe is built now without other key infrastructure such as a hotel (which happens to be in the plans for Auckland). NZ can make them work if we stop being so backwards in our thinking and look beyond Saturday afternoon events.

Wellington Stadium is likely booked most days of the week. They constantly have conferences, workshops, events, etc. My work would rent it out quaterly to get everyone together for a planning session and it was often hard to book. Saying that, Takina is likely digging into that market.
