It was built in 1987 and opened up to the public in 1989. The location in which it was built is quite symbolic as that was the place Nelson Mandela gave his first speech in Johannesburg after his release in 1990, it also served as the menu for a memorial service to him on the 10th of December, 2010.  It was also the venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, which was played by the Netherlands and Spain. The World Cup closing ceremony on the day of the final saw the final public appearance of Mandela.

The outside is designed to have the appearance of an African pot, the cladding on the outside of the stadium is a mosaic of fire and earthen colors, with a ring of light running around the bottom of the pot, simulating fire underneath the pot and there are no restricted views in the stadium.
