Wellington just simply can't afford a stadium like the above plus Sky, it's fanciful stuff. You'd just have them competing for basically the same tenants & events (AB tests, big concerts excepted). A zero sum game.

You can't make the monthly debt payments on a $300M bank loan (12K new stadia) from over priced Macca's or Subway. Not even Fritzs Wieners can do that. You need serious Govt cash investment. Or another sports mad American billionaire to rock up. At the moment unlike the 09, there is no serious public groundswell or debate in the 04 to replace the main stadium in town. Partly because the existing one, unlike Eden Park, is already in the best location.

The new rectangular roofed stadium in ChCh is gonna cost $683M. It will seat 30,000 for sports events, and will hold a minimum 36,000 spectators for large music events. Basically identical to Forsyth Barr, and to be financed by local & national Govt ($220M Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Fund).

Welly will have to wait until the ROF is terminal, for it's turn to get the same. Fans saying but I want & deserve a rectangle 12K stadium so I can have a great day out at the football, remind me a bit of taking screaming infants shopping. No acknowledgement of the hard cold financial reality, boring as it is.
