Now Bears to stage 'Big Game' in Cardiff
The Rugby Paper
|July 16, 2023
BRISTOL Bears are set to be the latest club to adopt the ‘Big Game’ concept by taking one of their home Premiership games to the iconic Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
The Rugby Paper understands that the Bears’ West Country derby against Gloucester is going to be given the special treatment and moved to the 74,500-capacity venue.
As well as being the home of the Wales national team, the Principality Stadium is used to staging big events including ‘Judgement Day’, Welsh regional rugby’s big day out, and previously it was home to an Anglo-Welsh Cup semi-final double-header.
But this would be the first time an English Premiership match has been played there, or indeed in Wales. Bristol once agreed to groundshare with Newport Gwent Dragons for the 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons while Memorial Stadium underwent redevelopment work but the move never occurred.
