Wernenbacher, that's who it was.
Marika Wernenbacher.
I want to finish on Carl Budge.
And I liked the story when it came out last Friday.
Just because I think that...
Budge is a CEO.
This is what he does.
He creates headlines.
We all saw it with Auckland Tennis, that ASB classic.
He managed to keep that in the headlines for months, dragging out every announcement of every player, owning the sports media landscape for a couple of weeks every year.
And for him to put his hand up and say, hey, we can host this in Auckland, I don't actually think logistically it's possible right now.
And I do wonder whether or not a super round at Eden Park would even work.
Unless, of course, you turn the number two ground into some kind of party festival zone over that time.
But do you like the fact that he's put his hand up and actually at least made some noise and made some headlines about this?
No, I think it's probably a bit big.
And also, you need more of a precinct around it.
Kingsland is, you know, it's there.
But do you think, Mark, that feasibly Eden Park could host something like this right now?
Well, it did in Christchurch.
That's the thing.
