Newlands cricket ground is my favourite. Lots of variation in the stands, old classic looking architecture and the views of the brewery. Shame about the Newlands rugby ground that one is great. South Africa's famous upset of Romania is right up there with Canada's win over Denmark in ice hockey.
If you go early for a test match, get a seat under the oaks (oak trees) you're in for one of the best atmospheres in world cricket. Also, cheapest beer in any stadium in the country.
I miss Newlands Rugby Stadium, the original Green Pont Stadium (was home of Hellenic soccer team) and the home of Cape Town City soccer team, Hartleyvale Stadium in Observatory (which had one grandstand that was skew).
Vygieskraal should be pronounced Fae-g-ees-kr-aahl not fee-g-ees-kr-al. And it roughly translates to "encamptment of the vygies", vygies being a flower. Good on him for trying though.
Love the video. I have the two questions, if they use "soccer" in South Africa, why is the name of the club "Cape Town Spurs Football Club". As well, are South Africans smaller that other people, because how do 10 000 fit in the Phillipi Stadium? Keep up the great work!
it's one of those weird things were we "officially" call it soccer but people will use soccer/football interchangeably enough that clubs can be called football clubs if they want
Question for @TheWideWorldofStadiums . How do you go about finding the sport venues in a city? StadiumDB is incomplete and might no longer be updated. Do you complete a Google Map search and go from there?
Absolutely loving the aesthetics of the Newlands Cricket Ground. Can't think why.
Hartleyvale Stadium is another stadium in Cape Town and probably the most beautiful field hockey stadium in the world.
"Informal settlement" gotta be a top 10 euphemism of all time
It's the common term for it.
@@TravelSignal it’s just funny to me as an Aussie cos it’s clearly a euphemism to make it look like there’s less poverty
