Talk:Cardiff Arms Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder if counries other than the UK went millenium-mental and named anything built between 1995-2001 "millenium" something -- in which case, this page may be up for disambiguation at some point. I sat in wait for the the "millenium supermarket", "millenium flower pot", "millenium telephone box" and so forth. -- Tarquin 19:27 Sep 24, 2002 (UTC)

Hey, if you're building a structure that is going to dominate the centre of your capital city, and it opens in 1999, I think you can justify calling it "Millennium" (two l's, to n's) -- User:GWO

well-spotted. I was too busy concentrating on not writing "Minnellium" (a la Victoria Wood ;-) -- Tarquin

Ahh, but did you notice I managed to mispell "two", and have now misspelled misspell..

Only one I can think of is the Millennium Skytrain line in Vancouver. - user:Montrealais

There's Millennium Park in Chicago. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 13:52, 2004 Jul 30 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with moving this article from Millennium Stadium to Cardiff Arms Park. Despite the fact that one was built on the site of the other, except by ignorance the new stadium is never, to the best of my knowledge. referrred to as Cardiff Arms Park and it is misleading to treat them in the same article. Have separate linked articles if you like, but don't merge them like this! -- Arwel 13:47, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm with Arwel! Just because they left the old sign outside doesn't mean that it's called it. Cardiff Arms Park is a stadium that got knocked down. The Millennium Stadium is a completely different stadium that just happened to be built in the same place. Have two different articles.

Okay, I've moved the Millennium Stadium out into its own article at Millennium Stadium. This article still needs major work though. I'm not really sure what the status of the Cardiff Arms Park name is. It seems that the whole complex is called Cardiff Arms Park and it contains the Millennium Stadium (called the National Stadium before it was rebuilt?) and Cardiff Rugby Club, who still call their stadium Cardiff Arms Park. The Millennium Stadium website [1] includes the text 'Cardiff Arms Park' under the logo, indicating that the whole complex is called this and outside the stadium their is a sign above a passageway saying 'Cardiff Arms Park' that I believe leads to the rugby club. Does anyone know? What we really need is an article on the Millennium Stadium (got), an article on the old stadium (called the National Stadium?), an article on the rugby club's ground (what's it's official name?) and then to convert this article into one on the Cardiff Arms Park complex (assuming I'm correct in the status of the various names). Anyone up for finding out and doing it?

It is pointless having two articles on the one subject. The name of the stadium is the "Millenium Stadium, Cardiff Arms Park". It is on the same site. It would be akin to having two pages for Wembley Stadium. Anon IPs should also log in and sign their posts. Dunc_Harris|☺ 15:07, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

They are totally seperate stadiums, just on the same spot. No merging is needed. Cactusrob 23:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the confusion arises because this page mainly talks about the old national stadium. Probably this article should mainly talk about the current Cardiff Blues stadium, with the old national stadium under a 'history' section? Gareth 00:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Have there been two merge attempts? I saw the proposed "merge to Cardiff Arms Park" thing on the Millennium Stadium article, came here, and half the comments are from two years ago. Anyway, I don't think they should be merged. A plan or diagram explaining how they fit together might be worth creating, though? Telsa (talk) 09:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
