The Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, has long been a symbol of world-class sports and entertainment, hosting international rugby and football, as well as becoming a go-to venue for major global tours.
One of the reasons behind the stadium’s success has been the ambition and drive of the team behind the scenes, and that has continued further with Principality Stadium recently enhancing its infrastructure to meet the demands of modern events. One of the standout features of this revamp is the complete overhaul of the stadium’s lighting system, designed and delivered by Musco Lighting, that now positions it at the forefront of integrated, sustainable stadium illumination.
