Last Tuesday we went for a walk to Eden Park to find out all about statistics and numbers.
We were able to go into the changing rooms, we walked down the players' tunnel nearly onto the field, which looked like beautiful green carpet, and up into the coach's box. We discovered there are two spa pools in the changing room, and one is filled with hot water and one with cold water for the players after the games. We also found out they mow the grass twice a week. We were amazed because our Balmoral logo was up on the two big screens and the 260 televisions around the stadium. It looked amazing.
Some numbers we discovered: 60,000 people will be able to fit in the finished stadium; the two big screens cost $1,500,000; there are 752 toilets; 4000 cartons of chips are consumed during an average Blues game, and 700 hot dogs!
This week, John Strawbridge, the Traffic Project Manager for the Rugby World Cup is coming to speak to us. We have thought up all sorts of number traffic questions for him.
Thank you to all the parents who came on the walk with us, we look forward to sharing our graphs, data and statistics with you.
