ost of those are cities in name only, let's be honest though, they are effectively towns.its pretty meaningless these days.
Swansea and hull might just scrape onto being cities in my books, nobody has ever walked around Gloucester and thought they were in a bustling city.
It's a fantastic city. Has its faults yes but what city doesn't.
The stadium makes the city imo. Not a massive rugby fan but it's a massive pull for tourists. And if you're attending something there it's quite special, not many places you can be in a city pub atmosphere then walk to a game/concert/etc.
Not sure what you'd put there instead. I reckon you'd lose a lot of pubs etc if it wasn't there, so you'd need to fill that space too
My egg lot Think the last time I went to a game was the Rugby World Cup in 2013.
For 10-15 days a year the city is gridlocked. The trade off is 10’s of millions of pounds get pumped into businesses all across the city.
Unless you think people are going to spend their millions at B+Q in Cardiff Gate?
Cardiff would be a lesser city without the stadium. Fact.
Eating out
That food critic Jay Rayner gave Cardiff a right roasting
There's a new Thai place called the Damp Squid or something but even that is a chain ?
That cafe quarter down the hayes ......by that canal exposure used to be good
Shopping wise the whole thing like other places has been wiped out by the Internet and then covid and now the economy
Here's another great idea
Close down the Millenium Centre which puts on shows that hardly anyone pays to go and see ......and turn it into a 2500 seater rock and pop music venue
We might be able to attract decent bands here then
What's the point of putting on plays and musicals if there's about 35 people in the audience ?
Boo hoo, your teachers made you play rugby at school and there’s a nasty mean rugby stadium in the city centre. Get over it lol.
It benefits Cardiff more than it hinders it. It ain’t moving any time soon so you (and all the rest of you who want it gone apparently) can suck it up.
Jay Rayner has been back since he slated the restaurants in 2016 and says its vastly improved.
Maybe you should try taking your dates to somewhere other than Dorothy's, then maybe they'll hang around long enough for a second date.

That Canal Quarter ?
Not impressed with the size of that development
It's more like a puddle
Maybe they were constrained by everything else
It’s part one of a much larger development which includes knocking down the Motorpoint, the building where the Traders Tavern is and developing the surface car park behind the Motorpoint. Additionally the roads in and around that area will be rerouted and more of the canal will be uncovered up to Guildford Crescent.

That’s the concepts for the full development.
