Eden Park stadium could host up to six concerts a year. The trust board believed concerts would generate new revenue crucial to its future viability after requiring a $63 million bailout package of loans and a grant from the council. Shona Tagg of the Eden Park Residents Association said on Friday she was “thrilled” concerts had been approved. “It s a great decision, a great outcome.” She said 95 per cent of the association’s members had been in support of having concerts.
