Bellville Velodrome
The Techtonic Velodrome is a 250-meter, multi-purpose indoor velodrome located in Bellville, South Africa. The venue has served as Greater Cape Town's main concert venue and has now been replaced by the Cape Town Stadium. Its maximum capacity for cycling competition would range from 5,000 to 8,000.
Initially developed for Cape Town's bid for the 2004 Olympics, the velodrome hosted the World Cycling Federation Championships in 1999. The project was completed in nine months from inception.
The Velodrome features an acoustically treated soffit lining for purposes of hosting music and other entertainment events. The Velodrome was designed as a phased development with a seating capacity on completion of up to 6,000 seats (existing seats currently are 2,500 and event organisers can provide the balance to bring it up to 6,000 seats) and a standing capacity of 7,800. Phase 1 is complete and various designs exist as well as development proposals for the surrounding property to support the functions of the Velodrome.
On 5 September 2007, WWE's RAW SummerSlam Tour took place with over 7,000 fans in attendance.
The velodrome hosted the 2007 UCI "B" World Championship in June 2007.
It was also the venue for the 2008 UCI Junior World Championships, which was awarded to the city of Cape Town.
It was also the home of the Organised Chaos LAN Party, South Africa's biggest monthly gaming event. Organised Chaos moved to a different venue after the commencing of The Galleria Development early in 2012, but still make use of the Bellville Velodrome for large events from time to time.
At a Council meeting on 28 October 2009, approval was given for the City of Cape Town to award a R3 billion tender to establish retail, business, residential, hotel and conference facilities on an 11.5 ha property in the Bellville Velodrome precinct.[citation needed]
