Neither of two options for Auckland's main stadium are entirely feasible.  

Auckland Council staff say feasibility studies for either an upgraded Eden Park or a new stadium at Quay Park found both lacking.  

The report says the Eden Park option would not be financially feasible without council or central Government funding, and Quay Park has optimistic assumptions around infrastructure and construction costs.  

Auckland Councillor Maurice Williamson told Andrew Dickens he’s questioning why the council is being brought into it. 

He says the Mayor has made it clear the council won’t be contributing financially.
