A fire safety expert says basic building codes would have been breached at Eden Park on Tuesday if doors were locked.
A false alarm which instructed people to evacuate at the US-Portugal game caused confusion when some were met with shut doors.
Morning Report spoke to Estelle yesterday who started to worry when the security guards weren't opening the doors.
Eden Park declined our request for an interview, and still hasn't confirmed whether any of the doors were locked.
They're investigating what happened. Fire protection specialist Charlie Loughnan spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Fire and Emergency say they were at Eden Park when the fire alarm was activated.
They say Eden Park has up-to-date evacuation schemes and they are working closing with park management over what happened.
