Did you know Newlands Rugby Stadium is the oldest rugby stadium in South Africa and the second-oldest rugby stadium in the world. The first official match at Newlands took place on 31 May 1890 when Stellenbosch defeated Villagers there in front of a crowd of about 2,400 people. There is a public debate around the future of Newlands. The Western Province Rugby Union have decided that they will not be using the new Cape Town Stadium, but will rather remain at Newlands. Following the 2010 World Cup, the Cape Town Stadium capacity was reduced to 55,000, enabling it to cater for all types of sports as well as music concerts and other major events. It is a modern stadium with state of the art facilities and many great features that make it a contender for the future. The big question is, will it be utilised... Newlands vs Cape Town Stadium, what do you think?
