FNB Stadium

What separates a stadium that merely hosts events from one that actually functions as a proper venue comes down to operational experience. Crowd management — knowing how to move thousands of people safely in and out — matters more than capacity numbers. Pitch or court maintenance has to account for different sports using the same space: surface wear patterns, line markings, drainage all differ whether you're hosting soccer, rugby, or athletics. Security protocols, emergency response procedures, vendor coordination, media facilities — these aren't glamorous, but they're what determine whether an event runs smoothly or becomes a logistical disaster. Experience shows in how a venue handles the details that spectators never think about until something goes wrong.
