We will be tearing it down soon so I wanted a video to remember it by! :) I forgot to mention during the commentary that this is a SMP server, and we do everything legit. We cleared the land by hand, gathered the resources, and smelted the stone all without spawning it ourselves. Sure it's a lot more work but the end result is always much more rewarding! :) The only glitch we use is the one where you can drop your tool to regain health on it. Hope you enjoyed!

The Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg is the largest and most spectacular stadium construction site in the world. The icon of the FIFA World Cup 2010 will host the opening and the final matches. The innovative Austrian company Rieder Smart Elements (which has a factory in Kolbermoor, Germany) made a significant contribution to the construction of the most important world cup stadium in Africa by realising the glassfibre reinforced concrete facade in native African colours. Almost one year before the kick-off to the 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa, the last fibreC panels of the envelope of the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg have been mounted. On Monday 27 July 2009, the Rieder team in South Africa brought the installation to a successful end. A team of 150 local workers are fine-tuning the glassfibre reinforced concrete facade to ensure that it will shine in the eyes of billions of viewers, as they watch the opening match of the world championship on TV screens across the globe. Rieder secured the commission from the architects of the soccer stadium, not only for its economic and holistic strategy, but also with its creative vision and sustainable product. - fibreC. In addition to its technical and aesthetic solution, the application of fibreC to the facade surpassed other international bidders with its eco-friendly qualities. fibreC is a concrete panel, reinforced with glassfibres, which enables the efficient construction of aesthetically impressive and <b>...</b>

Soccer-specific stadium (or football-specific stadium) is a term used mainly in the United States, Canada and Australia, coined by Lamar Hunt, to refer to a sports stadium either purpose built or fundamentally redesigned for soccer and whose primary function is to host soccer matches, as opposed to a multipurpose stadium which is for a variety of sports including soccer. A SSS (FSS) may host other events such as other sporting events (mostly lacrosse, American football and rugby football), and concerts, but the design and purpose of an SSS is centered on soccer. Some facilities (most notably Toyota Park, Pizza Hut Park and Columbus Crew Stadium) have a permanent stage at one end of the stadium used for the express purpose of staging concerts.
A SSS typically has amenities, dimensions and scale suitable for soccer in North America, including a scoreboard, video screen, luxury suites and possibly even a roof. The field dimensions are within the range found optimal by FIFA — 110–120 yards (100-110m) long by 70–80 yards (64-75m) wide, wider than the regulation American football field width of 53⅓ yards. Lastly, the seating capacity is generally small enough to provide an intimate setting, between 18,000 – 30,000 for a Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise, or between 5,000 – 15,000 for a franchise in the North American Soccer League or USL Pro (whose attendance is subject to more variation), as opposed to the much larger American football stadiums in which most MLS teams were compelled to play at the league's inception (generally 60,000 – 80,000). The seating capacity for USL Premier Development League fields ranges from 1,000–5,000. The first major SSS in Canada is BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario.
The term "football-specific stadium" is sometimes used in countries where the sport is known as football, although it is not as common in countries where football is the dominant sport and thus football-specific stadia are quite common, or in countries where baseball is dominant (Far East, Central America and the Caribbean). The term tends to have a slightly different meaning in these countries, usually referring to a stadium without an athletics track surrounding the pitch.

Biography
Mabhida was born into a peasant family which was later forced off the land. Mabhida was drawn to trade unionism by the late Harry Gwala, then an ardent unionist and member of the South African Communist Party. Mabhida, too, joined the Communist Party in 1942. After many unionists were banned in 1952-1953, his colleagues in the newly revived underground party urged Mabhida to undertake fulltime union work. In the next decade, he organised scores of workers in Natal. He was a central participant in the development of the South African Congress of Trade Unions (SACTU) and was elected a vice-president at its first congress in 1955. He also served as secretary of the ANC's Pietermaritzburg branch in the mid-1950s, and had a close working relationship with Chief Albert Luthuli. Mabhida became a member of the ANC's National Executive Committee (NEC) around 1956, and in 1958-1959 was acting chair of the Natal ANC.A week after the declaration of the 1960 state of emergency, Mabhida was sent abroad by SACTU to represent the organisation internationally. For the next three years he organised international solidarity activities in Prague with the World Federation of Trade Unions, and with the developing African trade union federations. In 1963, following his re-election to the NEC at the ANC's Lobatse conference in October 1962, he was asked by Oliver Tambo to devote himself to the development of the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK). Mabhida then underwent military training; as MK commissar he became the chief political instructor of new military recruits, and later served as the commander of MK. Mabhida's repeated re-election to the NEC, his appointment to the Revolutionary Council on its creation in 1969, and later to the Politico-Military Council which replaced it, reflected his popularity among ANC members.
After Morogoro in 1969, he was instrumental in setting up the ANC's department of Intelligence and Security. He was elected General Secretary of the Communist Party in November 1979, replacing Moses Kotane who had died the previous year. In the 1980s, Mabhida continued his work with political and logistical planning for MK, based at various times in Lesotho, Mozambique and Swaziland. In 1985, while on a mission to Havana, Mabhida suffered a stroke, and after a year of illness, died of a heart attack in Maputo and was buried there in March 1986.
Legacy
The Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban is named in his honour.
