About Principality Stadium
The Principality Stadium (which was known as the Millennium Stadium prior to 2016), is the national stadium of Wales. Since 1999, it has been the home of the Welsh national rugby union team and has also regularly hosted Wales’ national football team games. Principality Stadium was inducted into the RugbyPass Hall of Fame in 2021.
Built to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup at a cost of £121 million, the Principality Stadium has a capacity of 73,931. This makes it the third-largest stadium in the Six Nations Championship (behind the Stade de France and Twickenham). It’s also the second-largest stadium in the world to feature a fully retractable roof.
Since 1999, the Principality Stadium has hosted some of the biggest rugby union games in the world. Its inaugural game was a test match between Wales and South Africa, where the Welsh side emerged victorious in front of a crowd of 29,000 spectators.
Since opening it has been used for Wales’ Six Nations Championship home games, several Heineken Champions Cup finals, and the final of the 1999 Rugby World Cup.
Although it’s primarily a rugby stadium, the Principality Stadium is also regularly used by the Welsh football team. In addition to this, over the years, it has also hosted the FA Cup, League Cup and Football League play-off finals, as well as the final of the UEFA Champions League.
On top of this, the Principality Stadium has also hosted many other large-scale events, such as the Tsunami Relief Cardiff concert, the Super Special Stage of Wales Rally Great Britain, the Speedway Grand Prix of Great Britain and various concerts.
