About this listen

Hopes new events settings coming to Eden Park stadium will bring more foot traffic through Auckland's city-centre.

The stadium will be allowed to host up to 12 large and 20 medium-sized concerts a year under the changes - without the need for resource consent.

This will bring the total of concerts allowed up from the current 12.

Night-time sport will also be allowed on any day, as long as the games finish by 10.30pm.

Heart of the City CEO Viv Beck told Ryan Bridge she thinks back to the Metallica concert last year - and the buzz that it brought to the city.

She says fans stayed around for days - and were queuing round the block for merchandise.
