The Millenium Stadium provides a superb sporting and concert arena but is very challenging for the growth of good pitches. The lack of light as shown by an STRI hemiview light study, was insufficient for growth for much of the year and a rapid declinein sward quality often occurred. The pitch is based on a palletised system and is kept in the stadium for the two playing periods from around August to November and January to May. When necessary the pallets are stored off site. The pallet fill consists of an aggregate drainage base, Fibresand added rootzone and deep turf. There is approximately 200 mm of rootzone.
