Why do we have to have the "national stadium" in Auckland anyway, send it to Hamilton with the V8 and the rally we don't want anything remotely connected with fun up here.
No to the waterfront anyway because:
1) It's bloody Mallard's ego-trip
2) It'll ruin the view of the city
3) It'll ruin the view from the city
4) There's nowhere to park
5) It's near Britomart, but so what, about four trains run in and olut of there per day
6) It'll cost a Billion friggin dollars, to host one rugby match?
7) Concerts in stadiums suck.
8) If we have to build new stick it somewhere handy to Mways and the airport.....bulldoze Otahuhu!

Build the damn thing wherever they like - with one proviso.
ALL the money comes from the rugby profession, sponsorship or any other means rather than the public purse.
The waterfront stadium will blow out of budget projections, by massive proportions! Who will be left to pay the bill for this gubbinment's "monument to themself"... the taxpayer.
Also, regarding the colour of the damn thing, what will happen when the first fog occurs and a containership rams into it?????
Edit: Spend the money on fixing up the traffic/roading problems around the country and providing a decent rail service!!!

Let's hope they get a better project manager and QS than the Vector Arena did......

before my time so I have no grounds for comment.
I hear there's a firm in the UK that did quite a good job on the national stadium.
They should be available top start in a year or so....

It doesn't matter where they put it - no one will go - New Zealanders seem naturally apathetic when it comes to spectator sports preferring in their masses to watch it on telly with a few tinnies and a pizza.
It takes a city like Glasgow to sustain 3 55,000+ stadiums with a population of only 1,000,000!
As I've ssaid before though - with sea levels rising it'll make a great aquapark by 2011!
In space, no one can smell your fart.
The instructions are simple...
Good points. But I can't be arsed with rugby, so I'm not swayed.
As long as this doesn't turn into another "Auckland is the powerhouse of NZ, so the rest of you can pay for it" situation.
Build it if you must, anywhere you like, for as much $ as necessary. But don't expect the country as a whole to support paying for it. We don't all like rugby/see any other need for such an arena.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

...... nice, a half billion dollar fish bowl.

I reckon Carlaw Park is the best option, already has all the links for transport, parking, and isn't going to need stabilising before any work starts and the port doesn't need moving.
Owners have already agreed to in principle, extra land available and no 2 year delay get started.
Eden park is already messed up enough why make it worse, Downtown is just silly and hideously expensive, the Government says if not Auckland then Jade stadium is the next obvious choice. I say if you're not going to do it right in Auckland then by all means do it in Christchurch.

Apparently the beaches are far smaller than they used to be (like compared to what they were 100 years ago).... indicating the water levels are slowly rising - either that, or the sand is just getting washed away and that just ain't newsworthy (or taxable, like emissions taxes to reduce CO2 output blah blah excuses excuses).
