Greenpoint Stadium Info

Lying on the edge of the city centre and behind the V&A Waterfront, at the same main road as the Sea Point but a little closer to the city, the precinct hosted many athletic and other sporting events, which include horse racing. Presented and in upgrade is the Green Point;  a sports precinct in which the 2010 FIFA World Cup stadium is built. 

The stadium currently going in alliance with the name Green Point has  a capacity of 70,000 which will be reduced to 55,000 post the World Cup tournament.

55,000 seats are permanent and have been allowed 36,613 general spectator seats to upper and lower bowl, 14,910 to middle bowl, 2,035 box seats, 1,690 business club / restaurant seats and 178 seats for media with 24 media desks.

The actual estimated cost for the building was budgeted at about R2, 857-billion but due to economic environmental impacts; the cost have escalated to approximately an estimated R4-billion.

The location on the Green Point Common design approach is sensitive to its environment and addresses factors beyond the provisions for a FIFA World Cup compliant stadium.
