The stadium is adjacent to the site of the now demolished 18,000 seat Green Point Stadium. It replaces a portion of the Metropolitan Golf Club site which has now been realigned.

The previous stadium, which was demolished in 2007, was a multi-purpose stadium used mainly for football matches, and was the home ground of Santos Football Club and Ajax Cape Town at different points. It also hosted music concerts including Michael Jackson, U2, Metallica, Paul Simon, Robbie Williams, the Coca Cola Colab Massive Mix, and the 2003 46664 Concert for the benefit of AIDS victims.

    In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.
