This is a Fan Page for People who believe Ellis Park is the Best Stadium in the World

This stadium has got a rich history.

Ellis Park and rugby are synonymous. The only time when rugby was not played at Ellis Park was during 1980 and 1981 when the new stadium was under construction.

In 1995 rugby fever hit the country with South Africa's hosting of the Rugby World Cup, the biggest event on the rugby calendar. Ellis Park was the venue for the World Cup Final which was played on 24 June 1995. In this spectacular final, New Zealand and South Africa ran onto the field at 14:45 to a thunderous roar of 62 000 spectators and millions of spectators glued in front of their TV's. South Africa won this game 15-12 after extra time was allowed.

Ellis Park and the quality of rugby it represents became the symbol of South Africa's achievement as a nation united.

Today Ellis Park is the home grounds of the Lions, and is also the premier concert event in South Africa.

So it should stay, THE HOME GROUND OF THE LIONS
