Well I see the 2010 soccer Stadium in Durban every day because it is between the Berea where I live, and town where most of my appointments for work are – and every day I see progress.
At the moment I try to count the sails that give it a Sydney Opera House kind of look. They are almost stretching all around.
Approaching the 2010 Stadium in Durban from the City Center.
According to the VERY EXPENSIVE (controversial) Official Durban 2010 Website:
The stadium has been specifically designed to be active 365 days a year, creating a dynamic entertainment node for the city of Durban, incorporating Imbizo Place with over 7000m2 retail space, an amphitheatre and a cable car.
The cable car will ascend to a viewing platform at the top of the expansive 350m arch, a staggering 106m above the pitch. From this vantage point, visitors can experience spectacular panoramic views over the ocean and the city.
The stadium is a world-class, state-of-the-art, multifunctional arena located in the heart of the Kings Park Sporting Precinct. It will seat 70 000 roaring fans for the FIFA 2010 World Cup™, with 54 000 seats in legacy mode (permanent), and the potential to expand to 85 000 seats to meet the requirements of large-scale events such as the Olympic Games.
