Its previously mentioned capacity of 82,000 also makes it special, as it is the largest rugby venue on the planet at the time of writing. It has also previously hosted concerts by globally famous artists such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga, as well as iconic bands like U2 and The Rolling Stones.
