Cynics please step down, the Green Point stadium in Capetown is finally getting its head-dress. And what a beauty it is. The massive glass / steel / cable roof, designed by Birdair (Buffalo, NY) is unique, providing a veil-like effect for the stadium at the foot of Table Mountain. If you've not seen the official Green Point stadium site, visit it here. The 2 minute youtube video provides excellent site context.
I will make no pretenses about it- I have friends in South Africa and Zimbabwe and hope that this WC can heal a part of the world that is desperate to prove not just that it is normal, but that it can shine when given the chance. As those games draw near, you'll see more stadium photos from around South Africa here. An ongoing catalog of the stadium progress can be viewed here.
