[QUOTE="saulan, post: 786596, member: 60236"] It's more that they play in those stadiums because they need something to happen in them. The Free State Stadium was built for the 1995 World Cup and used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The other team to use it is a football team called Bloemfontein Celtic and I think it is even more empty for those matches. The Cheetahs have capacity for about 45000 but their average attendance is 17,000. I don't know who owns the stadium though and it may be the case that there is incentive from the municipality to get them to play there. I also don't know if they have a smaller stadium in town. Ellis Park is surrounded by bad areas. A Lions fan would be able to provide you more information on this. But I don't think there are many parking facilities near the stadium and you definitely don't want to be caught in that area at night. The best bet would be to uber directly to the stadium and then uber out. There is a train station a km away but I don't think the walk is the safest. Again, a Lions fan can provide better information than me. [/QUOTE]
