You know, it's perfectly built.

You've got that open side for the stage, the people on the ground.

It's just going to be awesome.

And no matter what events there, it's going to be great.

And I just think, I hope as people, as New Zealanders, we seize on that opportunity and really embrace it and get along.

I hope so.

Here's a city that's welcoming people back.

Let's rubber stamp it for the next two to three years and make it a thing.
