Eden Park stadium dealt $700,000 blow by Covid-19 restrictions

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

The country’s biggest stadium, Eden Park in Auckland, has taken a $700,000 profit hit after coronavirus cancelled major games.

The stadium’s trust board said it had lost two sell-out games, the North vs South rugby match and the Blues vs Crusaders clash, and All Black tests against South Africa and Wales had been postponed.

The consequences of restrictions on large gatherings due to Covid-19 were spelled out in a presentation to Auckland Council, which agreed a $63 million bailout in March 2019.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
