Millennium Stadium (Cardiff)

Being a proud welshman who has been fortunate to visit and take in the millenium stadium experience many times as a frequent supporter of both wales football and rugby teams, I can honestly say, hand on heart that the Millenium Stadium is probably the greatest sporting arena in the sporting world. The atmosphere is always electric no matter what occasion the stadium is host to, whether it be the Welsh rugby team roaring to their 2005 grandslam against the Irish or the cheering of the 70,000 plus fans when the French stood toe to toe with the All Blacks when they beat them in the maximum capacity sellout world cup 2007 quarter final, the Millennium Stadium is sure to ...  Read the complete review

I was fortunate enough to get a trip to the Millennium Stadium in 2004 when my team Millwall made it to the Football Association Cup Final and the new Wembley Stadium was still under construction. Although we went on to lose the game 3-0, lets face it we were never going to win, the stadium was worth the trip alone as it was quite spectacular. We were sitting in the south stand for the game and the view was quite superb. The stadium is all-round and built on three levels, a lower tier, middle tier and top tier; the south stand is the only stand which doesn't have a top tier as it has been built this way to accommodate the sliding roof which can be closed in bad weather ...  Read the complete review

The Millennium Stadium or as it is known in welsh, Stadiwm y Mileniwm, is the pride of not just welsh rugby fans by the whole of Wales and, now it would seem, anybody that has come to the stadium to watch an event. Currently the stadium is celebrating its tenth anniversary, as it was built for the Rugby World Cup, although now the stadium is not just confined to Rugby. An important point to establish here is the cost of the Millennium Stadium was only a fraction of the cost of the new Wembley stadium, as the total construction cost was at £125m; nowhere near the billion spend by the English FA. Although the main priority of the stadium is to be ...  Read the complete review

Wow.. What a weekend! I have just got back from my first time in Cardiff having spent the weekend there to watch the British Speedway Grand Prix, it was a weekend for frist seeing as i hd never been to Cardiff before (fantastic place) I had never been to a speedway meeting before (I am hooked!) and most importantly and hence my review I had never been to the Millenium stadium before...what a place!!! The Millenium stadium opened in the centre of Cardiff in 1999 and made history by having the first fully retractable roof on a stadium in the UK. Having spend the weekend in Cardiff and visiting different partsof the city the stadium can be seen from around the ...  Read the complete review

The 74000 capacity Millennium Stadium was built at a fraction of the cost of the new Wembley Stadium in London, and based on cost alone, should be inferior. Not so! Situated slap bang in the middle of the city, the Millennium Stadium is in my opinion, the best rugby venue of all the 6 Nations teams. The stadium is comprised of 3 main levels - lower, middle and upper, each offering a different perspective on the action that unfolds on the pitch. Truth be told, there is not a bad seat in the entire place, and I've sat in quite a few of them! If you're in the lower tier, it's close to the action, enough to hear the tough tackling taking place just metres from ...  Read the complete review
