The Millennium Stadium (Welsh: Stadiwm y Mileniwm) in Cardiff is the national stadium of Wales, used primarily for rugby union and football home internationals. It was the largest Stadium in the United Kingdom with a capacity of 74,500, but relinquished this distinction when Old Trafford's extension was completed in 2006. Twickenham Stadium, the home of the England national rugby union team now holds the record, with its expansion to 82,000 seats. The Millennium Stadium is owned by Millennium Stadium plc which is a subsidiary company owned by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU).

It hasn't been mentioned that it was here that Gareth Jenkins was beheaded following complete failure within the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He was pounced upon by a mob wearing red jerseys whilst trying to escape via Sprinter train to the land of Llanelly then dragged by his dangling things into the stadium in front of a capacity crowd. Probably. | ||||
