Over the years the stadium has undergone several name changes due to the different sponsors, though locals have always referred to the stadium as Loftus Versfeld. Between June 11, 1998 and February 4, 2003, the stadium was officially known as Minolta Loftus, to make way from February 5, 2003 at Securicor Loftus. On September 1, 2005, the name change process was completed when Vodacom became the sponsor and restored the original name of Loftus Versfeld.
