Free State Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Free State Stadium, also known as Vodacom Park Stadium, is a stadium in Bloemfontein, South Africa used for rugby union, as well as football.
The primary rugby union tenants of the facility are:
- The Free State Cheetahs, which participate in South Africa's domestic competition, the Currie Cup
- The Central Cheetahs, which from 2006 will represent Free State and Northern Cape Provinces in the Super 14
In advance of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, a second tier will be added to the main grandstand on the western side of the ground, increasing the net capacity beyond the 40,000- mark required for venues to stage 1st and 2nd round matches. Additionally, new turnstiles will be erected, the floodlights will be upgraded, electronic scoreboards will be installed and the sound system will be revamped to the required standards.
