Eden Park is delighted to have been announced a finalist in two categories of TheStadiumBusiness Awards 2017.
TheStadiumBusiness Awards were launched in 2010, in order to:
• Recognise achievement, innovation, fresh thinking and the leaders in the world of stadium, arena and sports venue management.
• Raise industry standards and encourage greater professionalism.
• Drive awareness of the stadium, arena and sports venue sector.
What are one of your goals for this year?
In 2017, Eden Park will host three British and Irish Lions fixtures with an estimated global audience of 200 million households.
I had the pleasure of being involved in two Lions tours in Melbourne and the passion and interest in New Zealand is arguably greater than that for the Rugby World Cup.
Naturally, these fixtures provide a huge opportunity for Eden Park to further enhance our global reputation as an iconic stadium.
Excited to announce that I will be speaking at the 2016 Sponsorship Summit regarding the evolution of Stadium partnerships to deliver greater yield.

Recently crowned Big Bash League champions, Perth Scorchers, have secured nearly three times the sponsorship dollars this year compared with last year on the back of two tournament wins in successive seasons. However, turning that success into sponsorships hasn’t been as simple as leveraging off the popularity of the 20 over version of the game, which attracts big crowds and TV audiences, Western Australian Cricket Association commercial, marketing and communication general manager Shay Nasta told Business News.
