It regularly hosts large scale football and rugby matches. Sometimes, it is used as a concert venue.The stadium has an eyecatching, unique roof-structure and a spectacular view, overlooking the North End Lake. This is the reason for the stadium's nickname, The Sunflower. There are not many stadiums in the world that are designed and constructed overlooking a lake; this in itself is a very distinctive feature of the Nelson Mandela Bay Multi-Purpose Stadium. The stadium seats 45 000 in addition to 4000 extra seats, temporarily installed for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The stadium also has 150 VIP suites, 60 business suites, a sports clothing shop, gymnasium, plus lecture and function rooms.
