About Cape Town Stadium
Cape Town Stadium is a football and rugby union venue in Cape Town, South Africa. It was constructed for South Africa's turn as host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The site lies in Green Point, with Signal Hill on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, not far from the city center and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. While it was being planned it carried the name Green Point Stadium, borrowed from an older stadium next door. Since 2021 a sponsorship deal has given it the name DHL Stadium.
Building began in March 2007 on the Green Point Common. Murray & Roberts and WBHO, working as joint-venture contractors, delivered the stadium in 33 months for R4.4 billion, approximately US$600 million. Germany's GMP Architects designed it in association with local practices: Louis Karol Architects, and Point Architects, itself a joint venture of several local firms. The keys went to the municipality, the City of Cape Town, on December 14, 2009, right on schedule.
The stadium had 64,100 seats during the 2010 World Cup. Temporary rows on either side of the top tier were later replaced by events suites and clubrooms, which cut the capacity to 55,000. WP Rugby and the Stormers have used it as their home ground since 2021, and Cape Town City played there from 2016. The South Africa Sevens tournament has been played there since 2015, and the Rugby 7s World Cup came in 2022. A pedestrian route called the Fanwalk links the central city to the stadium.

- Open roof ring and seating tiers
- The roof ring is open in the middle, and the stepped seating shows inside it. A larger print keeps the fine rows easier to read.
- One piece with the ground
- Cape Town Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
