The Blues are weighing up their future at the hallowed turf of Eden Park, with their contract coming to an end. 

The Super Rugby franchise have asked for public feedback on moving their home games to Mount Smart Stadium for the 2026 season.  

CEO Andrew Hore told Heather du Plessis-Allan they’ve seen an increase in broadcast numbers, but they’ve seen a much smaller increase in crowds over the last three years and they want to accelerate that. 

He says that moving from Eden Park may not be the answer, but it could be, and they’ve got to investigate all avenues.
