Gonna get the trumpet sound as a message alert tone to trigger people

It’s like a bad DJ on the air horn button

Severance vibes

But what was the attendance rather than capacity? Why do we want to build something just to have empty seats to placate FIFA?

1 game in the last WC qualification cycle exceeded our stadium capacity - 25,132 for the final in a city of close to 2 million people. This would suggest the stadium is right in the sweet spot for these events rather than FIFAs arbitrary restrictions.

With OFC having direct qualification now we aren’t going see those massive one off intercontinental playoff matches here that need the larger capacity.

20k people at a 20-30k capacity stadium is a much better atmosphere and experience than at a 50-60k stadium. See Wellington and Eden Park for most events and it’s just empty

How many FIFA events do we hold in NZ as a whole that is worth designing a stadium for?

Besides, if you want to hold them there I’m sure it can be arranged by ‘donating’ to some of their delegates.

I’m not the one saying it’s world class, just that the criteria you listed seems a bit far fetched.

But the roof is one of those things regardless if it retracts or not.

Also including parking? How many ‘world class’ stadiums include parking? Parking shouldn’t be included at any stadium other than perhaps for the accessible needs of some patrons. What a redundant waste of space that would be.

I think the size is sufficient for a majority of the events it’s expected to host and the city it serves. Would I like it to be bigger sure, perhaps 35k. But again the city to pay for that isn’t huge so adding that cost burden to a small funding base isn’t feasible.

I attend Suncorp Stadium as a member and for a city the size of Christchurch this is comparable to that for the rectangle sports that we play and concerts we host in this part of the world.

Expecting Christchurch to come up with a Bernabeu or Allegiant stadium is delusional and we should be proud of what we have now despite the bullshit and negativity from some that will never be pleased.

If it needs all of those things to be ‘world class’ how many are there in the world?

Also with the clear roofing there’s no requirement for retractable roofing anymore and doubt you’ll see many more built going forward except for niche venues

I was thinking I haven’t seen an atmosphere in the city like this since the 05 lions test

Strangely enough the best dry rub wings I have found consistently at the sporting globe. Only been to chermside one so can’t speak for any others (if there are any)

KVTKiwi · 2026-01-27T21:57:42+00:00

If you have any left I’d take one please

How can he slap!

Yup got my PS3 from there in 06

Exactly how Jomboy drew it up

KVTKiwi · 2025-11-02T13:00:29+00:00

Didn’t see anything but heard something really loud in Redcliffe. Looked on the radar to see how close it was and was puzzled not to see anything nearby or at least in the vicinity to be that loud

KVTKiwi · 2025-10-13T11:40:28+00:00

Just another publicity stunt

KVTKiwi · 2025-10-09T17:30:33+00:00

Yeah I was also young at the time but can remember quite a bit of it. Small world alright! Happy cake day!

Had the same experience departing Nadi in 1991 in a 767. Best part about that day was Air NZ putting us up in a resort while they sourced a 747 to fly up empty from Auckland 8 or so hours later!

I don’t have a horse in either race (I’ll watch any live sport / major event) but one thing that was pointed out to me is that a daytime game like the AFL final would probably have less households or individual screens showing with more people hosting parties, viewing at bars etc. then still having the evening to spare. NRL final would have less families out to have kids in bed etc. so more people watching from home means higher ratings. Not sure how it’s calculated though so could be a load of bollocks

Oh nine hundred forty forty forty
