That's what worries me , getting ours built before Bristol but if they also build a decent sized arena they It will be a direct competition to us and we will have the daft situation whereby bands can pick and choose like they do in the north of England where you have Nottingham , Leeds , Sheffield , Manchester and Liverpool all with arenas competing with each other ........build one in Cardiff and the days of having to travel two hours to brum to see the major acts will be over , unless Bristol build a similar venue which will see rock stopping at the Severn bridge ..........let's be honest we have been lucky that the CIA is the only venue of any size in this part of the world because crap sound or not , we would not have got half of the bands and touring shows we have had it Bristol or Newport had built a ten thousand arena
My view is they will just build a roof over the Cardiff blues stadium and we will have a crappy multi purpose venue with crap sound and not available when our glorious regional rugby side isn't playing , Bristol will get it's act together and we will be up shit street with just the CIA to pick up the scraps
Build it on the M4 on the north of Cardiff and you have the perfect location but slap it in the already congested city centre and wtf is the parking access going to be like , it's a nightmare as it is

Is that calling academy still going? Shocking dump that is.....
I saw slipknot there before they went global , dreadful shit hole
I tend to think that live music is poorly supported in Cardiff, but one of the kids acts sold out the millennium stadium a while back for something like 3 consecutive nights!!!, a 15 k arena would draw from across the bridge for the medium size acts and opens up the City for other opportunities ( I think !!! ) whilst I would agree that the CIA is a poor venue for music it would still have opportunities for say snooker, currently listening to houses of the holy on vinyl, no quarter, what a tune, Jimmy Page and a les Paul : music:
But just for you

Yech I Fi!! I can't think of anything worse than a 15,000 seater stadium. Seeing ones heroes looking like stick insects, miles and miles away. Vastly, way, way over-priced tickets from bands as a great way of saying 'thank you' to the loyal fans who have put them into super-star status. Vastly overpriced, warm piss poor beer (with no real in sight) on sale. All topped off by the brain dead, thick moronic, haven't got a ****ing clue, musically devoid chav-scum that are 'Showsec', policing the event.
Count me out!
These days I'm glad to go to Northern Soul Nights and pay between three and ten quid max for a ticket. Or the Globe too, a decent venue with reasonably priced tickets
