Eden Park, New Zealand 2011 - 11,000 temporary tiered seating

11,000 seats, over 2 grandstands (east and west).

John Jones, Project Manager for Seating at Slick Seating Systems Ltd in Redditch England head office commented about the project: "The stands were constructed from 147km of steel tubing, weighing over 500t. The height at the rear of the stands were over 31m, making them the biggest temporary stands ever built.

The design of the stands, along with the hospitality tents, meant that the public had access to view the Rugby World Cup Final, but would never enter the confines of the existing stadium itself ensuring the safety capacities were adhered to.

Construction began at the end of May and was finished in time for the “test event”, The Bledisloe Cup (NZ v AUS) in early August".
