Spacious enough for 2200 fans, 600 of which will be seated places. According to Siemens, disabled people will have their own area with a good view of the screen. Food and drinks will be sold at booths. Admission will be free and all of the World Cup games will be shown.

The company feels closely bonded with Munich, South Africa and sports, says Peter Löscher, director of Siemens. In all ten World Cup stadiums in South Africa a piece of Siemens technology is in use.
