HISTORY The stadium was named after the Cardiff Arms pub (a Coaching Inn )in close proximity to the building site. In 1941 , the stadium was hit in a Blitz by the Luftwaffe There were two stadia on the site, both with approximately east-west alignment; Cardiff Rugby Club (''Cardiff Athletic'') at the north (Castle Street) end, and the National Stadium at the south (Wood Street) end. The old National Stadium was demolished in 1997 and a new stadium, the Millennium Stadium , was built in its place (completed to a north-south alignment in 1999 ). The Rugby Club still uses the name Cardiff Arms Park for its own ground, physically attached to the rear of Millennium Stadium's North Stand. |
