Work was completed on the new Swalec Stadium in March 2008, with the impressive new ground hosting the First Ashes Test between England and Australia in 2009.
"Glamorgan have played at the SWALEC Stadium since 1967 having previously staged games in the Welsh capital at Cardiff Arms Park, next to the Millennium Stadium. The development of the Welsh National Stadium - now the Millennium Stadium - led to the transfer of the cricket ground into the recreation ground, north of Sophia Gardens at the end of the 1966 season.
The Arms Park had been the first ground used by Glamorgan when they played their inaugural fixture in 1889, and their first-ever County Championship fixture in 1921. The final county cricket match was staged at the Arms Park in 1966, and the cricket ground is now occupied by the rugby ground currently used by the Cardiff Blues".
