The AFL in particular and more recently RL have undertaken heaps of research into crowds how to get them and keep them...

In all studies the match day experience rates high ... and included in the match day experience is a decent all weather stadium with lots of facilities like bathrooms, food etc...

I know nothing about the parks and land availability in Wellington but from afar a 10 to 15 K stadium with seats out of the weather ... major matches still played at the cake tin seems to me maybe the way to go with the ground shared between the Super Rugby team and A-League team...

RL is moving to close all its local grounds and play all teams out of two maybe three stadiums in Sydney... the AFL play the 10 Melbourne teams out of two grounds...

The AFL crowds have risen and the RL teams in Sydney that play out of Homebush have also had a big increase in crowds... a tight 10 to 15 K rectangular stadium with seats covered would very much improve the match day experience ... does the city of Wellington have the money or the space I have no idea but playing in an oval in a completed unprotected stadium can't help build crowds...
