A recent opinion column by the chair of the Eden Park Trust Board was a thinly veiled plea for yet more Auckland ratepayer funding, writes former New Zealand Rugby comms chief Brian Finn on The Spinoff. Unlike Christchurch’s future stadium, Eden Park is not publicly owned or controlled. It is governed by the Eden Park Trust Board. Its beneficiaries – notionally the people of Auckland – are, in fact, Auckland Rugby and Auckland Cricket. Eden Park has also spent millions on a bid to host more concerts, to the detriment of other Auckland Council venues.
