Success has certainly been in the air this spring; Cardiff Blues are now champions of the EDF Energy Cup, after an incredible seven-try win over Gloucester.

Your team will be hoping to be one step closer to another trophy when Cardiff Blues face Leicester Tigers at the Millennium Stadium in the Heineken Cup Semi Finals.

We're also delighted to have 6 of our players selected for the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa this summer.

This is a truly exciting time for the region, as we move further towards becoming one of the elite European sides, and look forward to starting the new season at a world class new stadium.

Latest Development News:As we move into the final phase of works at the new stadium, the pitch is nearing completion. The cutting-edge 'Desso' design features a combination of natural grass with a stitching of synthetic fibres for extra stability. The stitching of the pitch is complete and the seeding is well underway, creating a durable surface for our players..

The majority of seats in the stadium are also now in place, and the external car parking is near completion. The Park and Ride facility off Sloper Road has been started, and the bar areas in the concourses are also being fitted-out.

Our website has images, information and videos of all the latest developments at the new stadium as and when they happen http://www.cardiffblues.com/newstadium

Family Stand and Facilities:
Supporters have been delighted with the under-9s go free offer at the new stadium, which forms part of our warm welcome to families and young supporters.

The dedicated family area in the West stand of the ground will be double that at the Arms Park, with the potential to extend, and will be adjacent to a children's zone.

All our supporters will have the chance to buy children's season tickets at a price freeze of £35 in the family stand.

We will be holding our annual Open Day on Saturday July 18th, with new stadium tours and other family friendly activities. More details will be available on our website.

The extensive concourse areas are being designed to create focal points for supporters to meet friends and socialise in the great traditions associated with the game of rugby, as well as providing easy access and speedy service. Retail and Merchandise:
A superstore will be located in the new stadium, with easy access from the main entrance. It will be open six days a week with extended hours to accommodate match days and seasonal demands.
We will also be launching a Cardiff Blues Limited Edition shirt to celebrate the move to the stadium, which will be available at the store.


Transport to and from the new stadium:We've had great feedback from supporters, who are delighted with the plans to provide a direct shuttle link between Cardiff Central Station and the new stadium on match days - pre and post-match and free of charge to season ticket holders.

Of course, the new stadium is a short distance from the current location and easily accessible via road, bus or train links from the city centre and the wider region:

By Car: The new stadium is extremely accessible by car from all areas of the region. In contrast to the current facilities at the Arms Park, there will be up to 500 car parking spaces available to supporters for match day parking.

By train: There are two train stations located in the vicinity of the new stadium, Ninian Park and Grangetown. Both are served by excellent, regular rail links from the city centre, North Cardiff and the Valleys.
