Another big weekend at McLean Park and what a turnout it was!
More than 12,000 fans came through the gates for the Warriors clash, with a strong mix of locals and visitors filling the stands and bringing the atmosphere. Itβs always great seeing the Park buzzing like that and families out enjoying a major event together.
Events of this scale play a big role for both the Park and the wider city. They showcase what the venue can host, support local suppliers and businesses, and keep Napier firmly on the map as a go to destination for major sport.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success, from crews on the ground through to the fans in the stands π
