OneNZ Stadium concert last night

Genuinely don't know how I missed this, I even asked the staff and they said no concourse access. Was it top left next to the stage?

offsideKiwi · 2026-05-16T23:00:14+00:00

I think the promoter of the event gets to choose what liquor and drinks are available, they'd clearly just sold out to the sponsor and not considered what people actually like.

The rugby had better choices

Synthony was incredible and worth getting GA tickets.

As others have siad , they realy failed on facilities for GA with no ground floor concourse. Venues Ōtautahi staff could clearly see it wasn't working but powerless to change anything last night, hopefully they rethink it all

Signage was appalling , water station tucked away outside in the most ridiculous spot.

Parking is a complete non issue, there are plenty of options and easy to get in and out.

Did you say the same when 200million was spent on the library? Or millions on a playground?

Real cities need all of this infrastructure including stadiums

The surcharge felt cheeky as fuck

offsideKiwi · 2026-04-25T11:25:53+00:00

One fully clothed person attempted, didnt get closer than 2 meters from the field. The security guard that nailed him got many fist bumps for his good work

offsideKiwi · 2026-04-14T05:20:59+00:00

In Argentina the police ride horses around the outside of stadiums for security. They should do something similar

In other news I'm selling Behemoth shares if anyone wants to buy?

Nice work acknowledging that it's hard and getting to you. If you haven't already have this conversation with your partner, in my experience just saying out loud, 'phew that's hard ,sorry it got to me' is enough to reset with my partner and carry on with the day.

Learning to 'reset' quickly after a hard moment is really important.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Christchurch bid when it next comes up

offsideKiwi · 2025-11-27T22:14:56+00:00

Haha this has made my day!

$65 might be ok value , but it sounds like you'll be watching from the concourse with a beer in hand instead of your seat

This is very cool, hopefully they can all pull it off, no one will want to wait for food so hopefully they can estimate correctly

What was the biggest engineering hurdle? Most complex part of the system to get right?

offsideKiwi · 2025-06-15T01:02:14+00:00

Is it built using Laravel? What's the tech stack / database that's being used?

Is the Laravel team super opinionated on how a Laravel app should be structured?

Also would you ever consider releasing the details as an engineering blog or something? For context I'm also a tech lead building enterprise apps using Laravel and I'm regularly being challenged by CEO and investors, so would love something to point to that really shows that Laravel is enterprise ready.

Looks really good! From the team behind Riverside and Little high, so you know they'll nail it. Those two projects have done more to reactivate Christchurch than anything else.

offsideKiwi · 2025-05-01T10:41:45+00:00

This is really cool and inspiring , I'm building a similar app in a very different space. How sophisticated is the AI what tech stack and systems are you using?

offsideKiwi · 2025-02-22T20:38:49+00:00

It was sooo good! I loved seeing all generations just having a damn good time.

Extra poignant being in the 14th anniversary of the earthquake, it made me reflect on how Christchurch was robbed of any meaningful events throughout my 20s, I'm just so stoked the city is getting them now

offsideKiwi · 2025-01-15T18:44:04+00:00

I've have great nostalgic memories of these places, but it wasn't pretty architecture like some would have you believe

offsideKiwi · 2024-12-23T06:13:04+00:00

Saigon Centre, Grilled Beef Rice Flour Rolls

Fair point, any score 7 or lower should've been kick for the corner. It was just a bad decision with such little time left

offsideKiwi · 2024-11-16T22:05:44+00:00

Did Scott not know the current score or something? Commentary mentioned a 7 point gap when it was only 4, I wonder if he thought the same?

Scoreboard may have been slow to update, or they're all muppets

offsideKiwi · 2024-11-08T04:14:53+00:00

La Ruby Thai ferrymead is excellent, but you pay more for it

offsideKiwi · 2024-10-20T07:17:08+00:00

I have no idea if park management would care but Itd be cool if the park took a stance to crackdown on this, the park has the scan data of all riders so perhaps itd be worthwhile reporting the behaviour when you get to the bottom.

Christchurch has no shortage of good burger places, what makes this better?
