[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 379130, member: 20605"] Yep, and probably local club rugby games to be played there. No good for cricket as, to quote John Mitchell, its [I]"a proper rectangular stadium"[/I]. At 30,300, it will end up being the highest capacity purpose built rugby stadium in New Zealand. (Eden Park, AMI Stadium and the Cake Tin are all multi-purpose). The Stadium will be the first in the world to have a permanent roof over a grass playing surface using a transparent roof material called ethylene tetrafluoroethylene that allows grass growth. All other permanent roofed stadiums use artificial surfaces such as Astroturf. The roof is angled northwards to maximise sunlight. [/QUOTE]
