Story: Auckland region
Originally a swamp, Auckland’s Eden Park has been a sports ground since the late 19th century. Today New Zealand’s largest sports stadium, it has been the site of some memorable sporting victories – and losses. The chaotic third test of the protest-ridden 1981 Springbok rugby tour was played there, as was New Zealand’s victorious final in the 1987 Rugby World Cup.
