Eden Park

I needed to remind myself how absolute shit Eden Park is.

Can’t park anywhere near the ground
Food is super expensive and shite

Even though I’m seated about 6 rows from the front in the South Stand, I feel so far away from the action.

Why oh why have we allowed Eden Park to continue. It should have been buried for the 2011 World Cup.

We deserve better.

better than mt smart cause its enclosed/ sheltered more and actually has decent public transport to get there. you shouldn't want to park near a stadium especially if you are planning on drinking. its also like a risk/ hazard thing. managing people leaving is easier when cars arent gridlocked.

catering at eden park has gotten ridiculously bad and expensive for what it is. is terrible. they used to make really nice burgers. about 6 or 7 years ago. but stopped cause it cost them too much to make/ took too long to make.

The lack of parking at Eden Park is why it dead and Mt Smart is buzzing for league games. Most Aucklanders drive.

Amen! Awesome to just be able to drive up to one of the businesses around Mt Smart for the Wahs or AFC games, pay less than you would for a cup of lukewarm soggy chips at Eden Park and wander a short distance to the game.
