Virtual Africa

South Africa is getting itself ready for the 2010 Soccer World Cup and all around the country we see magnificent new sport stadiums rising in preparation for what promises to be a spectacle of note.

Seeing that Virtual Africa has had the privilege to shoot quite a few of the existing (and even a few of the new) stadiums, we thought it to be a good time to write a few posts on some of our brilliant sporting facilities.
This then is our series on: South African Sport Stadiums in 360º.

First up is my personal favourite: NEWLANDS RUGBY STADIUM

Above we have a Google Map with integrated 360º virtual tours of both the rugby and cricket stadiums -two of the most majestic and historic sports grounds in the world.

Seeing that it’s winter, we zoomed in on Newlands Rugby, but simply pan a block to the South to find the cricket stadium – with some 360º virtual tours of its own.

Instructions:
1. Click on the icons in the map to see 360º images
2. then on the ‘Go Full Screen’ link to see the good stuff.
3. zoom out to explore 360º images of the rest of Cape Town
4. click on the ‘ShareThis” button below to share the map with your online community
5. subscribe to receive a notification of our next post, Greenpoint Stadium
