'cause they LOVE mielies in the Free State. Everywhere you go, all you see is mielies. It wouldn't surprise me if they grow mielies at the Free State stadium during the off season ...

You must make a point of it to tour MORE of the Free State when you get the chance again and not that one single route you seem to travel each time

Yeah, you're right. I love Ficksburg and Golden Gate and, well, tons of places in good ol' FS.

No, mielies don't grow on the pitch... they'll be planted around the stadium though, so that you know where in SA you are.

It is of the upgrade before the '95 world cup which consisted of well, the stadium as it is today . It was the extention of the main stand from small to the width of the field as well as the 3 remaining sides, upgraded from the old "peanut stands".
11 months, yes, you read correct and 24 million. Times have changed....

For, when it needs 1 year for the world cup to start, I'd like to make a video with some photos you guys have posted in this thread and in the others of the worldcup stadiums, to post in youtube.
I'd just like to know if you authorize me to do this. I'll mention at the end of the video that the copyright of these photos belong to the users that posted these in the skyscrapercity forum.
