Britain votes to put Millennium Stadium on Google Street View

The Millennium Stadium has been shortlisted as one of the top attractions to feature on Google Street View and the Stadium is urging the British public to get behind the venue as they cast their final votes this week.

Last month Google & VisitBritain asked the British public to name their top tourist treasures to bring to Google Street View via a new, groundbreaking invention - the Google Trike.

The Trikes have the same capability as Street View cars for collecting street-level imagery and are designed to help Google make special imagery collections in places less accessible by cars, such as historic landmarks and narrow paths.

Cardiff & Co’s Managing Director Richard Thomas said, “It doesn’t surprise me that the Millennium Stadium has been voted amongst the top attractions featured on Google Street View.  To my mind, it is like no other stadium in the world – docked as it is like a vast ship in the heart of Cardiff’s city centre.  The stadium has been instrumental in elevating Cardiff to the premier league for major events and conferences - with over ten million people passing through its gates since its inception 10 years ago.  I would urge everyone to get voting online this week to ensure that the Stadium takes its rightful place at the top.”
