Port Elizabeth accommodation. The Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth will host eight football matches for the largest sporting event in the World: the 2010 FIFA World Cup South AfricaTM. From 11 June to 11 July 2010, Nelson Mandela Bay will come alive with soccer fever as these historic events unfold, including a third and fourth place play-off and a quarter final.
This spectacular stadium has an eye-catching and unique roof-structure as well as a fantastic view overlooking the North End Lake. There are not many stadiums in the world that are designed and constructed overlooking a lake; this in itself is a very distinctive feature of the Nelson Mandela Bay Multi-Purpose Stadium.
The Nelson Mandela Bay stadium seats 45 000 people, along with 4 000 extra seats which will be temporarily installed for the World Cup. The stadium building is approximately 40m high and consists of six levels on the western side in addition to five on each of the north, south and east stands. Two big viewing screens will be installed for the live viewing of events as well as two conference rooms, which are able to accommodate 200 people will be situated on the 5th level.
There are four ramps for easy wheelchair access, 74 toilet blocks as well as 32 colour coded turnstile gates. There are 23 private boxes with a planned additional 22 private boxes, including two bars, as part of the post World Cup building.
