CSB - Blair Christiansen - Eden Park Turf Manager

This weekend will see three sporting codes play Eden Park in the span of four days. 

A T20 international doubleheader on Friday, a clash between the Blues and the Crusaders on Saturday, and then on Monday the stadium is hosting the FIFA Oceania Qualifier. 

It’s a massive undertaking for the grounds staff, involving months of planning. 

Eden Park Turf Manager Blair Christiansen told Kerre Woodham that 40 years ago, there was no chance of this tight of a turnaround being possible. 

He says it’s an evolution from people, but also the technology grounds staff now utilise.
