After a run of four straight record attendances, this season’s Guinness PRO14 Final is expected to be a sell-out occasion, with a positive fan experience placed at the heart of the events in the Welsh capital.
And fans will be able to choose between a weekend stay in Cardiff or a day trip, thanks to the traditional kick-off time on the day of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
Cardiff’s hospitality and welcoming atmosphere is known to rugby fans the world over and, when matched with the Guinness PRO14 Final’s reputation for absorbing contests and world-class play, the stage is set for an unmissable event.
Families will be able to enjoy child-friendly areas and entertainment within the Cardiff City stadium and all supporters will be able to take advantage of great food and beverage options on site.
“Setting a 3pm kick-off is about making the 2020 Guinness PRO14 Final as accessible as possible to supporters, no matter where they come from,” said PRO14 Rugby CEO Martin Anayi.
“We know that rugby fans love to travel for big events and we’ve ensured they have a choice in making a day or a weekend of it.
“We also have a responsibility to ensure the next generation of fans are able to come and see their heroes perform right in front of their eyes and we hope a more traditional kick-off time will be a real winner for families.
“We hope that, with all that Cardiff city centre has to offer, supporters will have plenty of entertainment options before and after the game.
“We’re delighted to be in Wales at a great venue like Cardiff City Stadium, where we want to raise the bar for our fans and make this our best final yet.”
