Forget A Night at the Museum. If Eden Park chief executive Nick Sautner has his way, punters will soon be able camp overnight at the stadium.
Saunter says he hopes to have the "Staydium Glamping" (glamour camping) experience up and running in 12 weeks. Pricing has yet to be confirmed.
Space in an elevated, northeastern corner of the stadium was being measured up when the Weekend Herald visited. Two domes have been ordered, which will feature "direct to dome dining and custom Samsung and Nood Furniture fit outs."
Sautner sees the "Staydium" experience being available 365 nights a year and hopes it will be popular with international tourists. It will use Eden Park's international profile and draw, which New Zealanders under-appreciate, according to the Aussie ex-pat.
Some people will see Staydium Glamping as a bit of a light-hearted jape. But in its own way, it's about to become part of what is a serious debate.
