Green Point Athletics Stadium

Green Point Athletics Stadium, Professional sports stadium in Green Point, Cape Town, South Africa

Green Point Athletics Stadium is a multi-purpose sports ground in Cape Town, opened in 1897 with a concrete banked cycle track of 586.6 yards (536.4 m) and an athletics track inside it. Partly demolished in 2007, it was rebuilt on the site of its old main stand and completed in early 2013 with 7,000 seats.

The original Green Point Stadium opened in 1897 with a concrete banked cycle track of 586.6 yards and an inner athletics track, seating 1,000 with room for 3,000 standing. It was partly demolished in 2007 to build the adjacent Cape Town Stadium on part of a golf course for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The rebuilt athletics stadium, with its main stand on the old stand's site, was completed in early 2013 with 7,000 seats.

The old Green Point Stadium was home to Santos Football Club and later Ajax Cape Town, and hosted cricket and school athletics meetings for CBC, Ellerton, de Kuilen and Sea Point High School. Its stands also carried concerts by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, U2 and Metallica, and the 2003 46664 AIDS benefit concert.

The rebuilt athletics stadium was completed in early 2013 and seats 7,000 people. Its main stand stands on the site of the old stadium's main stand, and the venue is used by local schools such as CBC, Ellerton, de Kuilen and Sea Point High School for annual inter-school athletics competitions.

The old stadium's concrete cycle track measured a third of a mile, 586.6 yards (536.4 m), with an athletics track inside it. Jack Rose twice held the world amateur human-paced hour record there, in 1898 and 1899; on the second occasion he rode 30 miles 606 yards in the hour.
