Wanderers Stadium

Description

The Bidvest Wanderers Stadium is a stadium situated just south of Sandton in Illovo, Johannesburg in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Test, One Day and First class cricket matches are played here. It is also the home ground for the Highveld Lions, formerly known as Gauteng (Transvaal).HistoryThe stadium has a seating capacity of 34,000, and was built in 1956 to replace the Old Wanderers Stadium. It was completely overhauled following South Africa's readmission to international cricket in 1991. In 1996, five new 65 metre high floodlight masts replaced the existing four 30 metre high masts enabling day-night limited-overs cricket. It is nicknamed 'The Bullring' due to its design and intimidating atmosphere.On 1 October 2004, the Wanderers Clubhouse was virtually destroyed by fire. At that stage it was known as Liberty Life Wanderers, but as from the 2008/09 season, Bidvest Group took up the sponsoring of the ground, thus it became its present-day name of BIDVest Wanderers Stadium. The pitch is considered very bouncy on cracks and dangerous for batting as acknowledged in 2009 ICC Champions Trophy and teams like Pakistan and Sri Lanka have always struggled there.

We visited this place with friends and family for India Day Celebrations. We were celebrating the 75th Indian Independence Day. There were many many cultural performances representing all the states of India. Very happy to see such a large crowd of Indians at one place. There were many stalls to buy things. Even the food stalls were nice. Had a great time here.
Had a wonderful experience thanks to LottoSportZA for giving me 4 family package tickets. Car parked safely, Security was friendly and very assistant, I can't find any flaws all I can say is let's support Cricket South Africa & keep loving each other with no drama whatsoever.
Went for a T20 game. Had a wonderful time, it was quick and easy to get in, a lot of food and drink stands all around the place, a lot of bathrooms too and security is also good. Would recommend.
Great venue, sadly access to food, drinks and toilet was a nightmare. Artists on stage were not visible from general public space, could not hear the artist performing, parking was your worst nightmare
Great stadium pls just add more cleqr signage for those new to the venue. Also attendants had no clue where our aeating was . Unless you enjoy people standing on you or beer being spilt down your back dont book the open seating. The cricket was well run . Superb security. The field invaders must rrally being feeling it today. Those security guys displayed superb rugby skills. Stadium emptied quickly and proffessionaly thats always a great sign. Overall great expeeience.
It was a lovely experience. The 20 overs are always exciting. The management was very organised in letting spectators through and lots of food places
Amazing stadium wonderful clean setup well maintained clearly South Africa has what it takes great work team keep it up..also they have a clean well maintained prayer area carpeted and has a women section as well really impressive
We went there to be apart of the Kaya FM event, the venue is beautiful, this was the VIP area for the day, the only issue that we had is dealing with the people that manage the venue, there are TOO MANY RESTRICTIONS, they couldn't even turn on the lights in the stadium at night while we where setting up, so event organisers must be weary of such venues for family, outdoor events...
Great stadium, awesome vibe and fantastic draining system. Big upside to the ground crew to get the field playing ready for the semi final of the SA20.
Phenomenal cricket stadium with excellent crowd control security amd the sound system is amazing
