Soccer City (FNB Stadium) — Johannesburg (2010)

Soccer City's calabash design — modelled on an African cooking pot — hosted the 2010 World Cup Final. The sound of 94,000 vuvuzelas created a noise level that FIFA engineers measured at 127 decibels — louder than a jet engine and 30% louder than the average World Cup crowd roar — and sparked a global controversy about the instruments that became the sonic symbol of South Africa 2010.
