All Blacks vs Argentina I

I agree, it’s not a good look.
But it probably shows the changing interest of NZ population. The ABs are not the religion they once were.
The stadium capacity is probably around 10% of the local population (within an hour of the stadium roughly - that’s off the top of my head, I could be wrong by a few % points) and Argentina don’t bring away fans like in the 6 nations.
But it is surprising that it is only at 70% capacity at this stage.

So ... don't play 2 tests in Wellington in a year?

The reasons for a national stadium keep adding up.
Naming rights look good too.
And it will stop cities building stadiums they need once every few years.

not sold out yet? dont know if this has changed much since yesterday
Quite frankly, that’s shithouse and oh so provincial
too many games in Welly. And this isn't the attractive one. And yet places like the Tron don't get one ... I dno't get it. Spread them around FFS
It’s not like the ABs play at home 30 times a year
Poor
Maybe so. Still should spread the games around

It is argentina though. They aren't usually a great watch compared to other sides.

I think one of problems is Olympic Games, I think they really should of moved it to afternoon game like Aus have with their test against Boks.
Especially when you think Sky who is broadcasting the test is also doing Olympics. You certainly wouldn't get anyone probably but rusted on rugby people. -

Built slightly north of wellington so it's easy access for the whole country.
With great training facilities nearby and even an outdoor activity arena with breweries.
Trentham here we come!

Not to mention jam packed with feral Hutt Munters.
Jerry Collins stadium is a much better bet.

Whitby, Paremata, Papakowhai, Aotea and Camborne are all outstanding spots.

We need redbeard here to talk about the costs of the tickets, parking, beers, chips etc to point out where the problem lies. I've just put in and for two adults, two children it's 300 for the end. 500 for the middle.
I guess there will be another hundy spend on that so 400 or 600.
Actually, thats not too bad I suppose.

Ticket touts have changed their practice drastically.

I get it - but how many people are going to go to Argentina if it's the 6th home game for the season?
Edit: Argentina x2! And Englad x2, and Aus x2. Is that really viable?
