Geocache Description:



Home ground of the KwaZulu-Natal cricket franchise the Dolphins, formerly the provincial team Natal.

The stadium as with so many other sport stadiums has taken a new commercial name, that of the Sahara Stadium- Kingsmead.

The 'End names' are the Umgeni End (north) and the Old Fort Road End (south).

The ground has played host to tests since January 1923 when England and South Africa played to out a draw. In 1939 England and South Africa played a timeless Test, which also ended in a draw when England had to catch the boat home after 10 days of cricket.

Since the 1980’s, the ground has been extensively redeveloped with new stands at the Umgeni and Old Fort Road ends, but the old main grandstand remains as a reminder of past glories. The pitch is laid slightly below sea level and local folklore maintains that when the tide comes in in the late afternoon, the water table rises, offering unexpected movement to seam bowlers.

The stadium hosts 25 000 supporters.

The cache is situated on the Umgeni end outside of the stadium and you require your own pen.

FTF key-ring will be given to the first to find cacher.
