Built in Cardiff to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup, the Millennium Stadium (renamed Principality Stadium in 2016) is Wales's national stadium and the largest in the country, with a capacity of 73,931. Designed by Bligh Lobb Sports Architecture and completed in June 1999 at a cost of £121 million, the stadium stands 33 metres high and features a fully retractable roof—the second such facility in Europe when built. Home to the Welsh rugby union team, it has hosted international football matches, major concerts, and prestigious events including the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2017 UEFA Champions League Final. Between 2001 and 2006, it served as a temporary venue for English FA Cup and League Cup finals while Wembley Stadium underwent redevelopment. The structure replaced the historic Cardiff Arms Park on its site and is owned by the Welsh Rugby Union.
