Sigh.

The Dallas Cowboys are building a new stadium. It's really nice.

And what are we doing in preparation for the Rugby World Cup? Upgrading good old Eden Park.

Sigh.

In defence of Eden Park...well actually in defence of Auckland...ok really what I'm trying to say is this: We couldn't build that stadium.

Dallas' stadium is publicly funded (unlike California, check out what's happening to the 49ers), is on the convergence of a bunch of highways and it's HUGE and so couldn't be put anywhere in downtown Auckland.

It is also nowhere near downtown Dallas, in fact it's in Arlington.

Oh and the Cowboys suck.

I had guessed as much. Pity though - it's pretty awesome.
