Ellis Park Stadium is located in the Johannesburg city in the Province of Gauteng in South Africa. It is also known as Emirates Airline Park due to sponsorship reasons. The stadium predominantly hosts Association Football and Rugby Union events. It was titled as "Ellis Park" after Mr. J.D. Ellis, who strived to make the area available for the stadium. In between 2008-2012, the stadium was known as Coca-Cola Park due to naming rights agreements with the Coca-Cola Company. The construction work commenced in 1927 and took around a year to complete.
Ellis Park became the first black-owned stadium in South Africa in 2005.
The concert of Whitney Houston, held at the stadium on 12th November 1994, was recorded as a home video and then released with the title "Whitney: The Concert for a New South Africa'.
