The Government's running its eyes over rules for big events at Eden Park - hoping to attract more money to Auckland. 

Prime Minister Chris Luxon says the Government will investigate changing the rules if they hinder economic growth.

Currently, only 12 music events and 25 night-time sports fixtures can be held each year, while conferences can't have more than 2000 people.  

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says it's likely the Government will move ahead with these changes.
