Public Viewing Area – Bellville Velodrome
The Bellville Velodrome, which is able to host about 7 500 spectators, is only 3km from Bellville rail station and in the midst of a well-developed road network.
Tips on getting there:
• Aim to arrive at least three hours before the match begins.
• If you live close enough, aim to get there on foot. Most main walking routes are only 1km or so in distance, and there will be a dedicated pedestrian space where you will be spill out of the community-viewing site after the game.
• If you plan to drive, make sure you have at least three or four passengers – parking is limited to 4 500 cars.
• Bear in mind that the nearby Willie van Schoor Road and Durban Road will experience traffic congestion during rush hour, because of their connection to the N1. However, the other surrounding roads still have reasonable capacity.
• If you’re planning to drive, be patient with pedestrians as the main intersections will be controlled to make it easier and safer for people walking to and from the site.
• If it’s a daytime match, take the train: remember, though, that you’ll be sharing this mode of transport with commuters using the service to get to and from work. Watch this space, though, as the City is working the Metrorail to provide extended rail services for soccer fans during match days.
• Use the Park-and-Walk facility, where you’re able to park your vehicle at a secure site to the stadium.
