A temporary stand will be built at the northern end of the venue to boost capacity.

 
“There are little over a thousand seats available in the Jerry Collins Stadium stand and I expect these will be snapped up this week,” Phoenix general manager David Dome Dome said.


“We’re putting in the additional temporary seating to give as many fans as possible a seat for the women’s biggest-ever game. 
For those of us geographically challenged. If i am a TV viewer where is north at PP? They said north end, not north side so is it the end near the enterance or the end where the bank is. Why put stands up at the end when there is space at the side opposite the main stadium where the benches are?


 
North End is by the entrance. Can't comment on TV view as they have had cameras on both sides of the ground at different times.  But if the camera was looking towards the main stand,the temp stand would be on the right. 

Still not sure why they haven't gone to the stadium, maybe they are just snubbing it . But porirua won't be anywhere near big enough.
what sort of numbers do you think we'd get if it was at the stadium?  chatted about this with friends and I would prefer a sold out Jerry Collins than a half empty Hnry with say 5-10k in attendance.  unsure what the biggest crowd is the wahinix have had at the stadium

yes im bias cos i live in porirua and its easy to get there for me, but also really enjoy the atmos and setting at JC
I agree with this. And don't APL get all the revenue for playoff games. So no benefit to the Nix getting a few extra hundred people into a mostly empty Henry compared to a packed crowd at PP which will create an awesome atmosphere.
Domey has put on twitter that although the APL usually take the tixket sales, the club is running this match so will get them instead:
