On Tuesday 11th March we visited The Millennium Stadium in
Cardiff as part of our 'Wonderful Wales topic.' We had a really enjoyable tour
of the stadium.
We went into the 'Press
Room' which was named after Ray Gravell, before going into the home and away
changing rooms. We saw some of the welsh rugby and football jerseys hanging up.
A few of the names we recognized were Leigh Halfpenny, Sam Warburton, Gethin
Jenkins and Gareth Bale.
Afterwards we walked through the tunnel the
players run out from. Music was playing loudly as if it were a match day.
Later on we were able to
sit in the best seats in the stadium. These were made of leather and were very
comfortable. This is where members of the Royal Family sit and very special
guests. The hospitality rooms were very nice too and there was an excellent
view of the pitch.
We learned that birds of
prey are used to stop other birds nesting in the roof. The main type of bird
used is the Harris Hawk.
Our tour guide said that
we asked sensible questions and we were very well behaved.
