Hi there admin/Phil?

I have pondered your response for about a week now. No, it’s not the cold down here that has brought about a slow response( I was born in Auckland;brought up in ChCh; and lived the last thirty years or more here in Dunedin – what does that make me?). I have had first hand experience being in the Dunedin Stadium twice!The latter was at the Argentina England game as a memeber of the NZCF Choir – a wonderful experience.The seats we were given for the game were down at ground level and I can vouch for a cool breeze flowing past us.I was grateful for the thermals I wore underneath my uniform.The stadium is somewhat open at the western and eastern ends allowing air to flow through. I have heard that it is required to maintain a healthy sward of grass – you could investigate this further as an academic pursuit if you wished. The point that I wish to make is that the interior of the stadium, certainly at lower levels, probably reflects the temperature of the exterior atmosphere, and that coupled with that “breeze” deserves to have a “wind chill factor” added. Furthermore, those attending a match/function/concert etc would appreciate being told what the exterior temperature and conditions are likely to be so that they can come prepared – most will have to walk some distance before arriving at the stadium – parking is at a premium close to the stadium.

Cheers Peter
