Joburg has several distinctive sports stadiums, but Ellis Park is iconic. It hosted the final of the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which was won by South Africa's national team, the Springboks. The stadium sits in the middle of the inner city, and is an unmistakable part of the Joburg skyline. We couldn't pass up an opportunity to watch a live game at Ellis Park, so we joined up with friends and took Mom and Dad to watch the Durban Sharks take on the Johannesburg Lions (for the record, the Sharks won 25-12).
Ellis Park!
Heading into the stadium.
Watching the sky go dark as the stadium slowly started to fill.
Engaged in serious rugby conversation. Or something of an equally stimulating nature.
There was no shortage of Sharks supporters in the stadium.
The lion was having a little too much fun with the shark. But in the end, the shark won (on the field, anyway).
Hot dogs, beer and ridiculous fan gear? Check.
