The Experience
The stadium has all 4 stands seated with 2 being completely and the rest being only a small amount. The atmosphere is very hostile and expect to be immtimidated. The Cardiff fans are very passionate about their club and sometimes this can make for a great atmosphere. Bear caution around the ground.
