Staydium Glamping takes out international innovation award

Eden Park has won an international award for ‘Product Innovation’ for its Staydium Glamping experience after defeating several big hitters in the American stadia industry.
TheStadiumBusiness Awards, based in the United Kingdom, recognises leadership, innovation and achievement in the delivery, operation and management of leading sports facilities globally.
Aotearoa’s largest stadium was competing against global brands in the United States including the Staples Center (home of the Los Angeles Lakers), the Chase Center (home of the Golden State Warriors), the Golden1 Center (home of the Sacremento Kings) and Levi’s Stadium (home of the San Francisco 49ers).
Staydium Glamping began in July 2019 after the venue identified spaces around the facility that could be utilised for new concepts. Two custom-designed domes sit in the north-eastern corner of the 117-year-old stadium and overlook one of the world’s most famous playing fields.
“We are thrilled that Staydium Glamping has been recognised on the world stage for the unbeatable accommodation experience it offers both local and international tourists. More than ever, during this unprecedented time, Eden Park is a blank canvas to attract new experiences to the city all whilst delivering significant economic benefits to our community,” says Eden Park Chief Executive Officer Nick Sautner.
