Inside the new Cape Town Stadium

15 November 09 6 Comments

Nike and I attended the roofwetting ceremony at the new Cape Town Stadium last night. It was my first opportunity to see the stadium with the new pitch and seating in place. It is one of the most beautiful stadiums I have ever seen, and I have no doubt it will be the stadium of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. We also heard a great performance by the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Richard Cock.

    Lovely photos!
    Dusk, best time of the day – it must have been magical to be there, listening to classical music surrounded by a small crowd – intoxicating!
    I’ve only been able to get into the stadium during the day.
