Eden Park: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Eden Park, Auckland: The Spiritual Home of New Zealand Sport Eden Park is New Zealand’s largest and most iconic stadium. Unlike many modern venues, it is a multi-purpose arena with a rich history, serving as a fortress for Rugby and a high-octane venue for Cricket. 1. Cricket at Eden Park: The Famous "Short Straight" Eden Park is legendary in the cricket world for its unique rectangular shape, which differs significantly from traditional circular cricket grounds. Dimensions: The ground has very short straight boundaries (some under 50-55 meters) and long square boundaries. This creates a fascinating tactical battle where even a "mishit" can fly over the bowler's head for a six. High-Scoring Thrillers: Because of the short boundaries, T20 and ODI matches here are often high-scoring and incredibly entertaining for the crowd. Atmosphere: The "bowl" design of the stands keeps the sound inside, creating a deafening roar during close finishes. It hosted the iconic 2015 World Cup Semi-Final where New Zealand beat South Africa in a last-over thriller. 2. Rugby at Eden Park: "The Fortress" If you are a Rugby fan, Eden Park is a place of pilgrimage. It is the home of the All Blacks, New Zealand's national rugby team. The All Black Streak: For over 30 years, the All Blacks have maintained an incredible unbeaten streak at this venue. It is considered one of the hardest places in the world for visiting teams to play. World Cup History: It is the only stadium in the world to host two Rugby World Cup Finals (1987 and 2011), with New Zealand winning both. The Haka: Experiencing the Haka at Eden Park with 50,000 fans in total silence followed by a roar is often described as one of the most chilling and powerful experiences in world sport. 3. Spectator Experience Accessibility: Located in the suburb of Kingsland, it is very easy to reach via a dedicated train station right outside the stadium. Hospitality: The stadium offers modern lounges, a wide variety of local food/craft beer, and excellent visibility from almost every seat. Stadium Tours: For those visiting on non-match days, the Rooftop Walk and guided tours provide a behind-the-scenes look at the player tunnels and the historic trophy cabinets.
