    Belief the bigger problem with Auckland's stadiums is not having the right sized venues

    Belief the bigger problem with Auckland's stadiums is not having the right sized venues


    Councillors are set to vote tomorrow on whether to back either Eden Park 2-point-1, or building a new Quay Park site.

    The latter project can be scaled down to 20-thousand for smaller events, from 50-thousand for big ones.

    But Rugby World Cup 2011 chief executive Martin Snedden says they can't keep putting smaller events like test cricket into big stadiums.

    He says even if they build the new stadium and it gets five-thousand people to smaller games, they'll have the same problem.
