'A night to remember': Eden Park CEO looks back on success of recent Warriors clash

Eden Park's boss says last night's Warriors match was a night to remember - even if it ended in a loss for the Kiwi side.

It was our biggest turnout ever for a Rugby League game, with more than 48,000 fans piling into the national stadium. 

The new City Rail Link was put to good use, with more than 15,000 punters getting there by train, and 13,000 taking the return trip.

CEO Nick Sautner says the game was huge for Auckland's economy and international profile. 

"We made headlines across the ditch, in terms of the Warriors fans and what they did."
