Aaron Ramsey has endorsed the decision not to move Wales' remaining Euro 2016 qualifiers to the 74,500-seater Millennium Stadium.
Wales are unbeaten halfway through their qualifying campaign and trail Group B leaders Belgium only on goal difference as Chris Coleman's side seek to end the country's 58-year wait for an appearance at a major tournament.
Beating Belgium, the world's third ranked team, on June 12 would bring that finals dream even closer and huge interest in Gareth Bale and company has led to pressure on the Football Association of Wales to switch the game from the Cardiff City Stadium to the home of Welsh rugby.
But the FAW has resisted those calls, believing the 33,000-capacity Cardiff City Stadium provides an atmosphere conducive to boosting their qualifying hopes and now Arsenal midfielder Ramsey has now become the first big-hitter in Coleman's squad to publicly back that decision.
"We're very happy playing at Cardiff City Stadium," Ramsey told Press Association Sport.
"That's what we've been used to now - if we were at the Millennium it still feels empty even with the amount of fans we've been getting there.
"Instead we've got a sell-out, a great atmosphere and the pitch is really good, whereas when we used to play at the Millennium the pitch used to cut up and was a bit bobbly.
"We have none of those issues playing where we are and the players are comfortable.
"That's the important thing, because the main focus is on us qualifying. The way we play too, trying to get the ball down, we want the ball running true and fast and we know we can get that at Cardiff."
Wales regularly played at the Millennium Stadium after the arena was built in time for the 1999 Rugby World Cup.
But they have not played there since a 2-0 defeat to England in March 2011 and manager Coleman said in March that "you won't get a better atmosphere anywhere than the Cardiff City Stadium".
The Belgium game has already sold out and Coleman will be hoping his star man Bale can put his problems at Real Madrid behind him with half the campaign remaining.
Bale's future in Spain has been the subject of intense scrutiny, with sections of the Madrid media and Real's fan base turning on the world's most expensive player in recent months.
But Bale shrugged off his problems at the Bernabeu when he scored twice in Wales' 3-0 away victory over Israel in March.
"Gareth enjoys coming away with Wales, you can see that in his attitude when he plays," Ramsey said.
"He enjoys it, enjoys coming back home and being part of things.
"It was the same against Israel and he scored two goals, I'm sure whatever's going on over there will be put to the back of his mind and he'll be fully concentrating on the Belgium game.
"It's going to be the biggest international game I've played in with the amount that's riding on it.
"But the team are ready, we've had some good results and we're going in the right direction.
"Every time we meet up now we're switched on and know what we're trying to do."
