While being a storied home to the All Blacks, and of certain seasons for The Blues, the venue it self lacks cohesive vision beyond “spend spend sit”. Access to restrooms for the West-end seats during events is disjointed to say the least.

For some reason the park hasn’t bought and added the NW corner properties into the venue which could provide much-needed “precinct hospitality/fan experience” zones that offer more fulfilling activities than KFC whack-a-mole or overpriced fish’n’chips.

The park has also done a terrible job at attracting Council and central government funding to jointly build an overbridge connecting Kingsland station with the Park’s land, which would alleviate much of the congestion and road controls along the major Sandeingham Rd. alongside the west end as well.

The venue management has also been shockingly slow to add things such as premium on-site parking options with valet stackable parking spaces, or to offset their energy needs with any kind of solar, bladeless wind, or other sustainable energy sources. Their website on sustainability undertakings is also out of date and not recently updated.
