Stadia are cool, but the business cases almost never stack up.
To make an economic case for a new stadium all AB home matches would need to move to Auckland. Even then it wouldn’t justify the cost

@Duluth which im not actually against in principle as then the rest of the country could have smaller more economically justifiable stadiums and actually try and fill them...but thats another decision that would have to have been made a long time ago, at least for new stadium like Forsyth Barr of even the cake tin got the go ahead in their current forms

Looks like a Pink Floyd concert, so another good reason to build it. Judging by NZ's expertise in building infrastructure, it should be ready by 2038 and only cost $798 trillion.

@Kiwiwomble It's from the article Winger posted. The tower is an All Blacks hotel. The stadium itself is surrounded by commercial and residential developments.
I added the pigs....
This would need Quay and the Strand to be realigned. Everything as far as mechanics bay to be bowled and the railways lines to be undergrounded. That's just the preparatory work.
They are very nice renders Here's another one with about as much chance of being built

NZ and Auckland should aim high. Eden Park will always be no more than adequate. It's better than the joke cake tin design (but what wouldn't be) but not as good as the Dunedin stadium.
Spending even more on Eden Park is throwing more good money after bad. Time to bite the bullet etc. Have something that stands out and we can all be proud of rather than bland and a little embarrassing. And what's a billion plus. And Auckland deserves this. But stick at 55,000. Thats more than enough
