Stadia
Top work from nz saram in finding pictures of the stadia, but what on earth is Ericsson stadium (the NZ one) doing bathed in sunlight?!? That never happens! I suspect someone's been at work with photoshop. More seriously, there's a question about how many stadia Auckand needs when half of the existing ones aren't finished ... North Harbour, Eden Park, Ericsson. I'm not sure what the new downtown monstrosity and the Waitakere Stadium will look like, but there's a good possibility neither of them will be properly completed either, I'd wager.
While I'm on the topic ... what's with the seating at Eden Park? Even a person of modest dimensions (e.g., 5'8") finds their knees jammed into the nasty plastic of the seat in front, and their elbows in the midriff of the person next to them. Pretty uncomfortable when you're settling in for a day's cricket. People are getting larger, not smaller, and even smallish people aren't accommodated by the seats at Eden Park. Now, if only I could get started on airline seating. Air Transat, I'm looking at you....
