@KiwiPie Have they got round to floodlighting it yet?
They have not - in the unlikely event that we beat Canterbury and Waikato beats Wellington, I presume they will move the final to Rotorua to play it on Saturday night.
Don't think the final will be played on Saturday night as it clashes with the AB v Japan game.
Would be cool if the final was a day game.

What is capacity - 5 or 6 thousand? About right for NPC these days?
I think this is the investment challenge. Aside from everywhere being short of cash these days, for Tauranga it'll be a major project essentially for NPC games.
I'd love to see some upgrades, but I'm not sure that the recent Stadium proposal will fly within the next decade either.

from what mum and dad were telling me, the unelected "council" committed all the money to an unnecessary downtown upgrade.

Challenge is - there were plenty of people who felt that way about the Stadium proposal at the Domain. Last I've heard of it the can has just been kicked down the road again...

Just had a look - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/new-tauranga-stadium-to-be-delivered-in-stages-construction-pushed-back-to-2033/2OZFJWAOFVAMJFBC3FDU63FNOY/ has some of the plans... "2033", and:
Of the 1189 responses, 56 per cent wanted the stadium removed from the long-term plan.
There were 43 per cent of responses that supported a stadium either staged or delivered in one go. The stadium was also met with opposition from affected sports clubs and the public during the LTP hearings in February.
The Tauranga Bowls Club, Tauranga Croquet Club and Athletics Tauranga would need to be relocated from the domain at a cost of $21m.
Were some unhappy Clubs in the mix too. Some with a demographic who have plenty of time and interest in taking on a Council...

lol dont mess with bowls and croquet

The Domain stadium concept was plain daft and not wanted by so many. Upgrading Blake Park adjacent To Bay Oval seems vastly more economic and sensible and I hope it flies. Much better than building a grandstand on top of a cliff with the only entrance on a main thoroughfare.
-
Would definitely support a Blake Park upgrade, dont know feasibility but certainly a good spot for it

It was Blake Park #3 I was worried about, but I can go with that approach
[We might even lure Baron out of posting retirement]
