Cape Town's new stadium
The mesh covering most of Cape Town’s new stadium can withstand a force of 2 000 kg per square metre. It’s strong enough to walk on... like these workmen are doing, high up in the stadium’s innovative roof. Watch this exclusive footage taken in the beginning of December by PM’s deputy editor, Anthony Doman, on his tour of the stadium...

Get a life !!
Thanks for the effort guys! Thought the video was great. Maybe you should consider throwing in a few gladiators and lions to appease the masses !!

Oh Dear
If you are going to go to all the effort of shooting this, editing it, putting some music to it, writing the article, advertising its out there, compressing it, branding it and posting it to the web at least do it properly otherwise its a bit of a waste of time, surely!

For heaven's sake
Suddenly the whole world's a critic. So the footage isn't great, but it's the first time I've seen inside the stadium.

At least someone tried.Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”

If this is it......
Then lets hope to hell the soccer if better than the video footage - or fans from all over the world will attempt to rear it down!!Which Muppet released this footage under the PM brand name?

This is it
I believe we have to see the stadium not the quality of the footage, if you have a problem with the quality then try to arrange a tour and get better footage yourself!I like what I see.

lol
Three stills, 15 seconds of (crappy) cellphone footage and some "epic" music. Looks like a Windows Movie Maker effort that should've stayed in the office...

Fantastic structure failed by amateur footage
Please remove PM's logo from the clip, this is damaging the brand I know and respect

Terrible video work
You do the stadium no justice with this video. Rather remove it please.
