Cardiff's Millennium Stadium Plans Include Retail, Hotel, Convention Center

Plans for a hotel, flats and conference facilities linked to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium "have been unveiled by the Welsh Rugby Union," according to the BBC. The multi-million pound scheme "has been in the pipeline" since '07 but the "global financial crisis delayed it." Now the WRU hopes "building work can start in 2017 and take two years." It will include a 100-bed hotel and up to 70 flats along with retail units, banqueting suites and a conference centre with walkways to the stadium. WRU group CEO Roger Lewis said that it was too early to say how much the scheme "would cost" (BBC, 5/27).
