Panorama picture of the Millennium Stadium

[Mr Blobby]

Taken on Saturday at the Wales v England game. It really is a superb stadium.

Hmm....how much did it cost to build?

 

[Mr Smggles]

121 million to build according to wiki

 

[Easy 10]

Wembley cost £798m according to Wiki.

And the roof doesn't even close.

Yes but that was at 1998 prices, and ever since the Chinese were awarded the Olympics the price of steel has rocketed.

Don't forget that one side of the Millenium ( the side we all sat in in 2004 ), was the old Cardiff Arms Park stand with a new roof.

It still is (the end closest to where Mr Blobby is sat).

I was in the lower tier on Saturday and sat in pretty the exact same place as did the play off final. I thought it was crap then and I still do now to be honest. Last time we went there with England they stuck us in the upper tier and it's a much better view IMO.

Great photo though Mark!

I still have a panorama picture in my head from the play-off final. One of the things I remember most, is the first time we went up to our seat, when we broke out into the actual stadium, the wall of noise that hit me in our end was truely hair-tingling.

I'm sure I've been there for something or other, looks familiar.

Had a pretty good view on the bottom tier , in line with the 6 yard box . But we could hardly hear the famous welsh singing down there . Were they any better from up there ?

Was in the middle tier and the view was decent. Thought the Welsh support was pretty poor but the game was all over after 15 minutes. Did you see it kicking off in the Welsh end - middle tier to the left of the goal? Why were all those seats empty in that area?

Had a quick look through some of the snaps on the blog and spotted a few of me in the back ground!

Cool pic Mark. I was in the lower tier and was in pretty much the exact same seat I was for when we played Wales there the last time.

Albion & England forever.

61,000 pretty much silent Welshmen for 90 mins!
