Just thought id post some pictures of Cardiff,
The cities most famous icon, the Millennium stadium, 75,000 seats and will be 80,000 when complete. Has the first retractable roof in the UK and is one of the best places in Europe for Concerts and events (Madonna playing in a couple of weeks) and can hold around 120,000 fans. Its also right in the city center with only a short walk to bars, restaurants etc.
