My 7yo was excited to go to the NZ vs Sui match, knew that it was a must win match for the Football Ferns... Spent much of the night asking if it was time to leave yet. The kicker? When it was time to leave he was the one crying from his seat to our car (roughly 1km away) because they drew and didn't win like they needed to, to go through (having been getting updates when they would come through). Knowing the way some media would have picked up on his emotional response we made sure to shield him from cameras as we exited...

But, with not much focus on alcohol consumption, it was awesome! Sometimes we find concerts a bit meh because of it, or rather the behaviour that often follows.

As for the picture, I keep meaning to take my kids there, we head to it's neighbour Toitu often enough in the school holidays
