It has a long history (originally built in the 1920\u2019s) and is right in the middle of the Jozi inner city which gives it a great city vibe. The stadium was used both during the World Cup soccer last year and the Rugby World Cup in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>It was great experience driving to the Stadium around the outskirts of Hillbrow and right past Ponte (a famous building on the Joburg Skyline). Ponte is known for always having huge advertising wrapped around the top (apparently the largest and highest in Africa).
