Millennium Stadium : Built to replace the famous Cardiff Arms Park rugby stadium, the Millennium Stadium has quickly become established as one of Europe`s premier sporting venues. As well as hosting international rugby matches - including the 1999 Rugby World Cup final - the ground has provided a popular home for FA Cup, Charity Shield and Football League playoff fixtures.
The Millennium Stadium is built on the banks of the River Taff right in the heart of Cardiff city centre.
Football and rugby fans alike have savoured the fantastic atmosphere generated by big games at the Millennium Stadium. The retractable roof can be closed to keep out the elements, and the lively ground is right in the heart of Cardiff`s vibrant bars, restaurants and clubs.
The Millennium Stadium will continue to be the home for both Welsh Rugby and Welsh Football.
The Millennium Stadium is just five minutes walk from the main railway station in Cardiff. The new Severn Crossing road bridge provides easy access to both the M4 and M5, and Cardiff has extensive experience of handling the crowds associated with major sporting events.
