This is what a wet Cape Town Stadium looks like on a grey autumn day

A dirty drab wet grey facade and roof ,

reflecting the dirty drab grey autumn sky above

The Urban Park however looks refreshed and colourful and hopefully will soon look even better

 because the grass is in bad need of  rain and looks dead in some places

Come rain or shine it always does look interesting from here

See there are more tent  frames being build on the old Green Point site

The sky lightens and so does the stadium

It wasn't raining hard enough but it must have washed some of the dust from the facade

and after rain comes sunshine

The roof looks shiny and blue again

Where is the most beautiful Soccer Stadium in the world ?

Here in Cape Town, South Africa.

The view I saw last night just before I went to bed ...

All photos below are of the North West side of the Stadium

The exterior fabric facade will be attached to the white structure you see here in the photo

Look ! This is what the new Green Point Stadium will look like in 2010

Well I did tell you that the stadium looks beautiful in any weather even today of all days with so much rain there was heavy flooding in Cape Town yet who could not love the look of this lady ?


The roof of the Cape Town stadium consists of a double layer of translucent white glass and the entire roof can flex in rough weather conditions its going to be partially closed but the spectator seating will be almost entirely covered
