Cardiff, Millennium Stadium, giving Welsh sport and music fans something to sing about.

>> MAN 1: Before, when it was Cardiff Arms Park, it looked a bit rundown and now it's
become probably one of the most famous stadiums in Europe if not the world, so I think there
has been big changes and it's great. [pause]
>> WOMAN 1: I don't remember the old Cardiff Arms Park, but the impact that the stadium
has had on the area has been huge. There has been a huge increase in tourism, all the restaurants
nearby have seen a massive influx of people going there and it's just great to see the
huge numbers that come here for every event. [pause]
>> MAN 1: My favourite thing? Probably the fact that it is so local in town. I can walk
from my house into the stadium and then after watching a game I can go straight into the
bars and clubs and have a good night out. [pause]
>>WOMAN 1: I love the fact that it's in Wales and it's easily accessible, and I love the
fact that it's a lovely family day out as well.
[pause]
>>MAN 1: It's definitely had a huge impact on Cardiff and I think also Wales in general.
As I said, it's now a famous stadium. It's put Cardiff on the map. People are aware of
the fact that we have such a great stadium here and it attracts a lot of people.
[pause]
>>WOMAN 1: It's leaving a huge legacy for Wales, both in terms of tourism, in terms
of what it's done for the people, the culture, sports and the arts...
