| We have been to all 3 weekends now and we all thought Cardiff was much better !!
much more atmosphere around the ground with all the roads around the ground buzzing with fans all having a good time,
the official figures speak for themselves!
[iA total of 30,122 watched Sunday's four matches at Murrayfield and, with 29,627 in attendance on the opening day, the combined total is down on last year's aggregate of 63,144 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff[/i

Nope, they can't close the roof. The pitch will always be uncovered.

| From memory the new 6,350 tonne roof covers an area of over 45,000 square metres (11 acres), 4 acres (16,000 m2) of which are movable and rise to 52 m (170 ft) above the pitch. With a span of 317 m (1040 ft), the arch is the longest single span roof structure in the world and is 134 m (440 ft) above the level of the external concourse, and is designed not to cast a shadow on the pitch. Contrary to popular belief, the stadium's roof is not fully retractable, meaning it cannot cover the playing surface in inclement weather.

No, meaning nothing at all. 'Retracting ' means drawing back, i.e. opening. What they meant to say was it does not fully close, and so cannot cover . . . etc.

1589.jpg when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg |

| whatever
It's never going to be at Wembley anyway.
I just think that at this time of year it's just as likely to be heavy rain as sunshine and if you are unlucky you can have a pitch which cannot be played on for more than two or three matches in one weekend.
If you're ok with that risk then there are plenty of other stadia around.
