Profile
Originally named Centurion Park, SuperSport Park, the home of Northerns
(Northern Transvaal), is in easy access of Johannesburg, Midrand and
Pretoria.
One of the newer stadiums and Test venues in South Africa it has been
described by various International Captains as "One of the grounds with the
best players' facilities in the world". The stadium's appeal is the grass
embankments which make up a large part of the seating area, ideal for good
family cricket watching. Beach Cabana type hospitality chalets have been
erected high on the grass banks for added corporate viewing pleasure. A
pavilion at the north end of the ground completes the 22,000 spectator
capacity.
Known for being one of the quicker pitches in South Africa, it also gives
plenty of opportunity to batsmen, with the ball generally coming onto the
bat. It has never been seen as a spinners paradise. The outfield is level,
lush and fast with a drainage system on par with any in the world.
