Description: Shows a tour bus in Dunedin pointing out the old rugby stadium and the new. Context: The old Carisbrook stadium was branded with the name "The House of Pain", due to its reputation as a difficult venue for visiting teams. The building of the controversial Forsyth Barr Stadium which it was hoped would bring huge benefits to the region is also costing ratepayers a lot of money. Dunedin's overall debt has increased 1700 per cent to $586 million since 2000 and frustrated ratepayers say the debt carried by the council is too high for a city of Dunedin's size and that unchecked spending, in particular on the controversial stadium, has saddled them with an unfair financial burden.
