About Ninian Park

Ninian Park was Cardiff City F.C.’s home ground from 1910 until its closure in 2009. Situated on Sloper Road in Cardiff CF11 8SX, the stadium hosted memorable football matches, boxing events, and concerts, including notable performances by Bob Marley in 1976 and a visit by Pope John Paul II in 1982. After demolition, the site was redeveloped for housing, with the nearby Cardiff City Stadium opening in 2009 to continue Cardiff’s football heritage. This page provides a comprehensive overview of Ninian Park, including seating information, transport options, and nearby hotels and dining to help visitors and researchers understand this historic venue.

While Ninian Park no longer hosts events, its legacy remains a key part of Cardiff’s sports culture. The four seating areas were the Grandstand, Grange End, Popular Bank, and Canton Stand, contributing to several record attendances in the 1950s and beyond. For those researching historical matches or planning a visit to the area, consider nearby transport links (Ninian Park and Grangetown stations) and nearby accommodations such as Future Inn Cardiff to stay close to the Cardiff City Stadium complex. Secure your seats for future events at the successor venue, Cardiff City Stadium, and enjoy the same cityscape that once framed Ninian Park’s famous days.
