It's inevitable some gents will turn it into a dick measuring contest (who can get the most away fans bla bla bla) but how good is it having multiple games with 20k+ numbers and a little spice involved... for a football game in NZ! Unreal.
I think moving to Eden Park would be suicide. Terrible atmosphere, too far away from the field. Even if you got 50,000 people, I genuinely think one boring atmosphere would take out 75% of people from attending again.
Contrast that with the exclusivity that is generated at Mt Smart by having it sell - people will be buying derby tickets weeks in advance next time round. Reading this thread, it sounds like Phoenix could have twice as many travelling fans next time round.
