Mill stad renamed for champions league.
Announced about a year ago
Hasn't been called the mill stad for a couple of years now either
Since when did it stop being known as the Principality Stadium?
It's a one off for the "big game" the euro bosses don't like stadiums named after brands for their finals
It's not even the national stadium for the national sport of Wales
I still refer to it as the Millennium Stadium and always will. I don't agree with stadia being named after their sponsors. Good on Toon fans for insisting on preserving the name of St James's Park a few years ago, when there were plans to call it the Sports Direct Arena or similar. What if Poundland or Kwik Fit had decided to sponsor the Mill Stad? Lucky escape!
The 'Liberty' is a curious one. Liberty Insurance seems to operate mostly overseas. It seems to have hardly any retail presence in the UK. I have no idea what their affinity is with Swansea Council or the 'White Rock' - as the stadium would have been known without sponsorship. Perhaps one day it'll be the 'Admiral Stadium'!
Possibly one of the grandest sporting occasions ever to be held in Wales. Something to be very proud of.
In other news I gather Bob Monkhouse has passed away.
