Full Description
The inside story of building the Wales Millennium Stadium 1995 - 2000 in time for the Rugby World Cup 1999 by Pat Thompson.
This is Pat's story and memory of the challenges and the process of building this great, iconic stadium in the heart of the capital city of Wales. Told in his own words, it is intended as a record of a great visionary achievement delivered within a short timescale by a resolute, hardworking, talented, multi-disciplinary team of specialists.
'It is widely agreed that this is an iconic design worthy of the capital city, with the four masts visible from different angles along adjacent city centre streets and surrounding areas.'
Pat Thompson
'You keep your big stadiums in the city centre to keep life in the cities, and you keep the bowls as tight as you can to create atmosphere.'
Rod Sheard, Lead Architect for the Millennium Stadium
'From the outset, it was the most advanced stadium of its kind in the UK, and it remains one of the finest venues anywhere in sport.'
Professor Geraint M. John
