Danie Craven Stadium

The Danie Craven Stadium features a grass playing field with grandstands accommodating 17,000 spectators in an oval-shaped configuration against mountain views.

The stadium opened on March 31, 1979, on the grounds of the former Coetsenburg Estate, which dates back to 1682 when Dirk Coetsee established it.

The stadium supports Stellenbosch University rugby programs and hosts the Varsity Cup finals, fostering connections between academic and athletic achievements.

The venue provides designated parking areas, accessible seating sections, and multiple entry gates that allow efficient movement of large crowds during events.

A bronze statue of Danie Craven sits at the stadium entrance, commemorating the South African rugby administrator who shaped the sport's development.
