Millennium Stadium

Welsh rugby cathedral

The Millennium Stadium is a large sports venue in Cardiff, Wales, opened in 1999 for the Rugby World Cup.

It hosted Welsh rugby and football matches and major events including concerts and motorsports.

The stadium was renamed Principality Stadium in 2016 after a sponsorship deal, though many still use the original name.
