Wales Cardiff Stadium
The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff is one of the great successes for Welsh regeneration in celebration of the end of the 20th century, built for the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Costing some £120 million it has paid for itself with sell out concerts as well as hosting Rugby Union, League and football internationals and club cups. With the latest addition being speedway.
The stadium was the first in the UK with a retractable roof allowing the major occasions to be played out in the dry and it is still considered the premier stadium in the UK, helped by its capability of changing the playing surface within 24 hours and the 74,500 capacity which will be oversubscribed surely for the duration of the tournament.
