THUMBS UP IF GREENPOINT STADIUM IS THE BEST STADIUM OF THE FIFA WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA!!!

[praatafrikaanz]

I hear they want to demolish it, can't afford to run it now that the world cup is over. Pity, beautiful stadium.

[20Mako]

@praatafrikaanz I THINK IT WONT BE DEMOLISHED!

1. IT IS A BRAND NEW STADIUM.

2. THE STADIUM WAS DESIGNED FOR RUGBY AND SOCCER GAMES.

3. IF THEY WANT TO DEMOLISH IT, I WANT THAT THE OTHER STADIUMS BE DEMOLISHED TOO.

4. GREENPOINT STADIUM IS THE BEST F****NG STADIUM EVER!!

[0MusicNewsNow0]

[lungza]

@0MusicNewsNow0 play soccer dummy !!!

[0MusicNewsNow0]

@lungza football* and yes, but in South Africa, they don't have many big teams to fill these vast stadiums.

[lungza]

@0MusicNewsNow0 Who gave that wrong information ????

[MarkyParky2006]

Looks like a great stadium, cant wait for our English support to be in there on the 18th June Vs Algeria!! Woooo!!

[sirArchitect]

South African architects ..yeah people show respect that is one incredible stadium ..I cant stop imagining Coldplay doing a concert there

[marcelnz]

det ees verdy Nice yaa

[yumpringles]

i reminds me of Emirates Stadium. (arsenal's stadium.)

[TaylorEllard]

my mum used to do pe in green point stadium

[TaylorEllard]

i feel so proud of south africa and my birthplace capetown. the world cup 2010 wil answer every critic.

[dutchman333]

the ball is defenitely old school...

[joenkies2]

without a doubt one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world, makes me proud to be a capetonian. i think this rivals the bernabau, the nou camp and far out-rivals the emitates.

[omrivol]

WOW!

[kiwi539]

this stadium will use Football and Rugby

WP will sell New Lands stadium (old stadium)

[A2012A]

I hope they dont sell or demolish newlands

[capetown2020]

Problem is Newlands is not a modern venue with the required infrastructure for a major event. Its tucked into a residential area with poor transport access and no real future in terms of hosting events other than rugby.

[southafricaaa2010]

great stadium.!.(:

[iloveuantarctica]

Argentina for the cup!

[capetown2020]

To be clear. Zille was against building the stadium without a financial study and site feasibility study. Zille ensured both studies took place, which resulted in the go ahead .Zille was correct in stating that the contingency of 5% was too low. The studies showed that the cost would be much higher than the idealistic estimates provided.The project is well run, managed and designed by some of the best in the world.

[capetown2020]

inside is larger and steeper than emirates.

[wrsslol]

emirates looks like shit .. haha

this stadium is fknn sikkkk :O

[lufchaz]

inside looks the same as the emirates outside looks good

[OnlyAfc]

inside this stadium looks like Emirates Stadium.:)

great video:)

[A2012A]

B E A U T I F U L!!

2010 gonna be great at Greenpoint & South Africa!

[Neotanium]

btw, GREAT 3D modeling, and that will definately be a landmark for Cape town

[Neotanium]

Hmmmm... with all those lights, lets hope eishkom can last

[capetown2020]

The stadium has its own generators. In addition, the city has also installed a substation at the stadium which will provide the CBD with its energy needs until 2025.

[Neotanium]

Hmmmm.... if the city has that, then Zille must be doing something right. (no wonder she got best mayor in the world prize).. omg! can you imagine her a president, if anyone can fix the mess the ANC made of the country after Mandela finished with corruption and crime its that woman...VIVA VILLE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[Kiwifruit87]

im not a fan of the anc..but dude get ur facts straight. Zille was against the stadium initially..thats part of the reason why the construction phase began 3months l8r than it was supposed 2 and the project is over budget.

[vegeta2332]

A Architect or Engineer must be consulting her or she hold a degree in one of those field.. it's the smarts method to protect people from any down time. kudos.. beautiful video and super structure.. Can not wait to see the WORLD CUP in Africa (South Africa ..best ) from New York

[vegeta2332]

The music is wonderful.. what the title of the song.. wonderful song also..from from New York

[Kiwifruit87]

Its a team of urban engineers,city planners,environmental officers etc. most cities have them

[CM23Boi]

spectacular stadium

[dsc0824]

Cool....that's going to be a nice stadium.

[jxtoohg]

cant wait to see the opening ceremony and the 1st match in this awsome stadium, which is only less than 2 years.

[77981428]

amazing stadium

[distopes]

[capetown2020]

10000 views!

[brtkx]

nice , good luck ( juz oni nawet maja lepsze od nas stadiony ;/ )

[gangsterwigwam]

absolutley nothing close to this in Australia not even by a long shot we need to do some catching up with South Africa i will be the first to admit that

[nicgeldenhuys]

holy fuck...thats flipin nice..!

[hoppschwiiz123]

thats the south african emirates stadium!!!!

[zim83]

How's the construction going? I was in lovely Cape Town in late 2006 and there was still controversy around the venue, but then I saw some pictures of Helen Zille kick-starting the works. Is the progress noticeable? Also, as of 2006 the upgrading works hadn't started neither in Bloem nor at Ellis Park, how are those two doing? I for one remain positive it will be a success and a boost for the country just like the 1992 Olympics and other events were for us. Greetings from a SA-loving Spaniard.

[Profoundness]

Construction is going ahead pretty well at the moment. There's around 15 cranes on site. Everything is on schedule. They're working on the third tier of Greenpoint at the moment. The roof will arrive in July and start being assembled in August.

The other two stadiums have started their upgrade as well too. From what I know, no stadiums are behind schedule...some are ahead in fact.

[capetown2020]

8 stadia on track to be completed more than 1 year before the event. Durban and Cape Town will complete their stadia by October 2009, the FIFA inspection date

[xtrmsnpr]

looks a nice work!

[Profoundness]

The load-shedding has been suspended as of Monday this week, so things are most definitely better than they were.

[haggiesm]

i think the power shortage discussion is short sighted. yes we're struggling with power resources now, but it wasn't a surprise for eskom. they've been working on upgrading and building new facilities for a while. we just didn't know about it. so that little topic can rest. awesome stadiums, all of them. really cool vid too. can't wait.

[richl]

I think from some angles in outline it follows the curves of the mountains behind ..

from the sea I think

nice

[capetown2020]

can we keep the comments on topic in relation to the stadium and the design itself.

some of us dont see the 97% of spending on infrastructure(especially transport related) in relation to the 3% on spending on stadia pre 2010 as a waste.

[mindispower]

Yes, simply functional. Now I wonder if the government will follw suit? Really, socially speaking, all this 2010 money is somewhat of a waste. I sure hope it generates income and is not a disastrous waste of resources. (The electricity comment is very, very real).

[PHABHIO357]

spetaculos

[heartbeat2thenation]

looks amazing but will SA have the electricity to cope with a huge stadium like this?

[fezile]

Ican't wait till 2010. this stadium is amazing.

[Profoundness]

Totally amazing!
