Name: Loftus Versfeld Stadium
Year completed: 1906 (renovated 2008-09)
Cost: US$12,000,000 (estimated)
Capacity: 50,000
Trivia: The stadium hosted matches during the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The first stand, accommodating 2,000 spectators, was erected in 1923
Located in the east of Pretoria, close to the university, will be the stage for the World Cup 2010 cut and thrust, hosting five group matches and one second round fixture. A ground with a British feel, the 50,000 capacity arena did not require a major structural overhaul, just upgraded floodlights, a new roof on the East Stand and some gloss and polish.
