Auckland's Eden Park CEO says new event rules will align us better with global venues - as the stadium's granted more concerts and a State of Origin match 

The Government's announced new settings, lifting the number of concerts allowed each year to 32 - 12 large and 20 medium-sized - without the need for resource consent. 

Night-time sport will also be allowed on any day, as long as games are over by 10.30pm - and New Zealand's first ever State of Origin match will be held next year.

CEO Nick Sautner told Mike Hosking that his team's been committed to getting to this point.
