The Cape Town Stadium, Cape Town's most expensive building ever built, is in close proximity to the V&A Waterfront and the city's beaches. The stadium is the only one in the world with a glass ceiling.
The Cape Town Stadium was a fundamental upgrade of the Green Point Stadium, a multi-purpose sports facility situated between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean in Cape Town's seaboard suburb of Green Point. The Cape Town Stadium was specifically upgraded for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The Stadium provides seats for 68,000 people. It has a retractable dome to shelter spectators and players should Cape Town's unpredictable winter weather become unfavourable.
