Wanderers Stadium
Wanderers Stadium is a stadium situated just south of Sandton in Illovo, Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa. Test, One Day and First class cricket are played here. The stadium, with a seating capacity of 30,000, was built in 1956, replacing Old Wanderers Stadium. The stadium 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. The Cricket World Cup 2003 final was held at the Wanderers Stadium. On 1 October 2004, the Wanderers Clubhouse was virtually destroyed by fire.
