A bold design for a National waterfront stadium in downtown Auckland has been unveiled by a private business consortium which says it will fund the complex project entirely.

The proposed 50-thousand-seat stadium would be developed on Bledisloe Wharf and would replace Eden Park.

Lynn Freeman talks with the chair of the Waterfront Consortium Dave Wigmore.
