2026 ?

Ff sake

If Bristol build one before us then that will be first on the big gig circuit and get established

I read that the capacity is going to be reduced which isn't a bad thing

15000 seems a bit ambitious

Big arenas in the UK from Scotland down ....

Glasgow
Newcastle
Leeds
Sheffield
Manchester
Liverpool
Nottingham
Birmingham
London

Then Cardiff , if its built ?

That's a huge arc of Swansea, Cardiff , Newport , Valleys , Bristol , Bath , Gloucester , Swindon, Exeter

I suppose Southampton , Portsmouth etc would come under Brighton Arena

So it's between us and the wurzels

I would think if or when Bristol build anything then the extra hour to us will be a factor

This has taken years

Bristol's is scheduled to open in late 2025 or early 2026 with a capacity of 19k.

It was going to be built in the city centre (having been first announced in 2003) but is now being built on the old Filton airfield, North of the city.

The new station to serve it is due to open later in 2026 (perhaps). Getting to and from the venue is going to be a real issue, but I guess it would be to some extent wherever a venue of that size is.

Having lived there, that’s a shite place to have a venue….

Well that's very bad news for Cardiff then

A lot easier to get to than Birmingham NEC

Although a 19 k arena is ridiculous

I hope Cardiff goes in at about 10 k seats , big gigs are not really my scene but some of the bands I like won't play venues smaller than that because of the stage show

Ours will be better than Bristols as long as Drippy has nothing to do with it.

[NinianOpinion1927]

Anyone know where down the bay it will be built? Seems crowded already

There's is the old concord hanger and it will hold 17,000 ours 15,000 or less if it is decided today to reduce the capacity to reduce cost, it is a Cardiff Council scheme by the way not the welsh government.

By the Council building end.

Modern, mixed-use development including food and leisure amenities, replacing the Red Dragon Centre.

isn't it replacing the cinema/bowling place

[NinianOpinion1927]

Where is that? By Atlantic wharf?

Yes https://atlanticwharfcardiff.co.uk/

People near there should make a decent wedge with Airbnb, you could charge £100 a night probably.

[North Cardiff Blue]

The plans look quite good to be fair, but watch the video they are trying to limit car parking and make everyone use public transport.

The Red Dragon site I believe

Swanse hae just finished building one!

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I think 15500 is ridiculous

Cardiff CIA is an awful venue and deffo needs replacing but up to 10000 ish seems sensible

Same size as arenas in Nottingham, Liverpool

If Bristol is building an enormous arena then it makes sense to build something far more realistic

If a 10000 all seated arena was in place now then Cardiff would be deffo on the touring circuit but this has come too late and I think it's going to be too big

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

It's tiny

3000 seats , OK for small touring bands but not much bigger than several other local venues

If that had been made 10000 we would have ended up going down there all the time

He's not a city Councillor, he's a Welsh assembly representative

Give it a rest Meldrew.

These are old plans ?

[North Cardiff Blue]

He's not a city Councillor, he's a Welsh assembly representative

Exactly so hopefully it will be alright

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

It's not being built for YOU lot

Poke your nose elsewhere

They could get whoever built St David's Hall to build it...
