I long for Britney Spears to come and sing here. I've seen her in London, but it is not the same as it would be to be able to see her here. I really enjoyed the Boy Zone concert it was amazing, they were on roller skates and they performed scenes from the Movie Grease. This was back in their early years. It ended with fireworks and started with fireworks. Spectacular! I saw Busted there as well that was another awesome concert! I'd never had such fun in a long while, before I had been to that concert. I didn't even really care about how loud it all was, which I often do. I recommend it for all; especially teenagers, the older the better I feel. It's near Cineworld cinema, in the town centre.

This is a really good arena. I've never been to it to see any sports (I don't even know if they do…read moredo sports there - sometimes places really surprise you and you realise that they have an ice rink under the floor and things!) but only music. It's a fantastic venue to see a concert. There is always a really atmosphere - and although part of that will obviously be my own excitement, a bad venue can hinder a gig. There's a good amount of seating and of standing room and the prices are always reasonable. I just wish there were more loos! That's always the problem!

The Principality Stadium, previously known as The Millennium stadium is the home of football and…read morerugby in Wales, I came here for a tour on a recent trip to Cardiff, and was reasonably impressed with the stadium and the tour. I love football, traveling and Yelping so I am today pleased to combine the three for my 1100th review. The stadium is quite interesting with its' location, it is right in the city centre of Cardiff, which is a rather unusual and uncommon approach with football stadiums in large cities, which normally tend to be a few miles out, this means that traffic going in and out of the stadium on a match-day might be troublesome on the best of times. The stadium here was really cool, and was modern in most ways, I really liked the inside seating and the whole look of it, even with a retractable roof, the tour was quite cool, it was a decent sized group and I learned some cool stuff about the stadium, which is set to host the Champions League Final in May/Jun 2017, meanwhile the likes of Leicester City versus FC Porto are playing right now in the Champions League as I write this review, with teams dreaming to reach here come the end of the season. The dressing rooms were not as welcoming, they were average and certainly not as nice as I have seen at other major stadiums such as Wembley and The Etihad. The tour also lost that spark, magic, because the pitch had been pulled up to make way for concrete to hold a massive dinner, which was a cool idea in practice, but along with the roof-up, it made the stadium feel dark, and more like a concert hall rather than a stadium, which ruined the atmosphere in ways. As mentioned above, the tour guide was friendly, as he was an Arsenal supporter we shared a few jokes about football, myself supporting Manchester City. The stadium store is quite poor, with multiple really old fashioned, inaccesiable lifts and it is hard to move around and start the store, which is a huge let-down for a store meant to serve the leading stadium for both football and rugby, hence all sporting events in Wales. Overall, this is a nice, cool, new(ish) stadium but still there are some issues with my visit, which need to be ironed out such as improving the modern feeling of this store, the tour experience. I feel this stadium in general deserves three stars.

Some of us went to Qatar. Others went to Swansea…read more Swansea.com Stadium (as Liberty Stadium is known these days) is home to Wales Premier League Football (aka Soccer) team, the Swansea Swans. They were good enough to compete in Qatar, albeit not for long, but earlier, on a random night in Wales, they lost in the last minutes of a regular season game. With all the hoopla over Qatar's "no alcohol" policy for World Cup games I was pleased that the stadium sells alcohol even if they don't allow it into the stands. The result? Hundreds of men - almost 100% men - file into the bar at halftime, no Covid-era masks in sight. The stadium itself is immaculate, with comfortable enough seating, and reasonable prices when compared to pro baseball in the US. Mid-field front row seats, mere feet away from the playing field, ran me £32.50 per person. A few other things to know: * Food is permitted inside and I can vouch for the fact that the fries with nacho sauce are quite a junk food delight; * There's on-site parking and probably public transit as well however, there were no taxi stands. It was suggested I walk to a nearby pub and summon a cab from there; and * The stadium entrances are the oddest, narrowest I've ever experienced and some may be unable to make their way through. I imagine there's different access points for those folks but if you think it might be a problem, some advance recon may be useful. Bottom line? Swansea.com Stadium is a swell place to see a live soccer match.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - my first visit here was in 2011 when I was on tour in the UK. I was very impressed by how shiny and new and modern it was. The fans are absolutely rabid and create a great atmosphere. I was most recently here in 2014 and it looks as shiny and new and impressive as ever, a real highlight of the Swansea landscape. I've been to virtually every significant stadium in the UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born and raised in England, I followed Oxford United (my hometown team) to many stadiums all over the country at away games, and later followed Liverpool (my fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from personal experience at these stadiums from multiple visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited these stadiums then, also. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in the UK for 3 months, I visited all of the stadiums as I travelled around the country. I have pictures of many of them which I will post in future. Also, when I'm back in the UK I plan to take more pictures, and add more stadiums too! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** It's the second smallest Prem stadium (sometimes the smallest, depends which teams are up here), located in the beautiful hills just North of Swansea, and it's very new and a fantastic stadium with a rabid support for this team. When the stadium was built the fortunes of the club took a massive upturn and they are now an established Prem team, playing to 20k people. It was known as the White Rock Stadium, which basically means that it's not in Black Rock, Buffalo. It cost 27 mil and opened in 2003. It has held Wales games here, including a Euro qualifier in which they beat the Swiss, and a World Cup qualifier in which they lost to the Croats. The Who, Elton John, Pink, Rod Stewart and Kings Of Leon have all played here too.

Creepy…read more First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I saw half a Rugby game here (with my Welsh friends who insisted on it) and I was having such a bad time listening to all the racist crap and very uncomfortable and getting wet, so I left. I think that's given me a bitter taste and it's not the worst stadium in the world but I still have to give it a 2. I plan to come back to watch a proper football game here, maybe in 2016. I want to watch a home game in every UK stadium that is part of the football league and this is one of the few stadiums I haven't seen soccer at. I've never liked Rugby. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It's owned by the Rugby team, and I'm not into Rugby, but the footy team also plays here. It's next to the river, and pretty small. It's been a stadium since 1877 or so. Two different Ruggers teams play here, but thankfully none of the players call Rugby Ruggers, because anyone who does is a ********* ****** *********** **************. And a *** **** ********* for that matter. This stadium is also known as Rodney Parade, which makes sense because Delboy really did Parade Rodney around. Stadium is looking better and is right near the city centre, but one of the ends still doesn't have a stand, and that just makes the whole thing look imbalanced and incomplete.
