Millennium Stadium, national stadium of Wales
Millennium Stadium is a sports venue in Cardiff hosting rugby union, football, and rugby league matches. The building features a retractable roof and flexible configuration to accommodate different sports.
The stadium opened in 1999 to create a modern home for Welsh teams. It replaced an earlier venue and became a symbol of contemporary Cardiff.
The stadium is where Welsh people gather for major matches and share their passion for rugby and football. Spectators singing the national anthem together forms a significant part of local identity and community spirit.
The venue sits in central Cardiff with easy access by public transport. The area has parking options and walking routes, though visitor flow changes depending on match schedules.
The roof is one of the first in Britain to open and close during matches. This design lets spectators experience events under open sky or in an enclosed setting depending on conditions.
