Stadium
Kings Park Stadium in Durban is the home ground of the Sharks. It is also known for sponsorship reasons as Mr Price Kings Park, but locally known as "The Shark Tank". It currently has a capacity of 60,000. As well as the Sharks team, it is also used during the Currie Cup for the Natal Sharks, as well as soccer games. The grounds were originally built in 1891, but have been worked on numerous times. A major upgrade occurred for the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
