General Information

Ground Information

Parc y Scarlets is the new home of Welsh rugby region, The Scarlets and Llanelli RFC and is located in the Pemberton area of Llanelli just a few miles from the town centre.

The stadium is a joint venture partnership between Carmarthenshire Council and The Scarlets.

The handover of the stadium to the council and Scarlets took place early November 2008 ahead of the first rugby game in the new facility on November 15.

The capacity in the stadium, including the terrace area, is 14,870. The stadium can extend to a full capacity of 15,180 with the placement of tiered temporary seating in front of the Link Telecom East Stand when required for bigger matches.

Rare for new stadia, there is a terrace area in front of the Gravells North Stand for those who specifically want to stand; as requested by the Scarlets Supporters Trust. This area can hold 1,780.

There are four stands – the largest of which is the Castell Howell South Stand which hosts extensive hospitality facilities and has a seating capacity of 5,748. The Gravells North and Castell Howell South stands run alongside the length of the pitch. They have a horseshoe curvature to allow for better views.

Stadium construction was by Andrew Scott Ltd, one of Wales’ leading construction and civil engineering companies, over a 10-month build period. Managing director Mike Grindle said: “This was 2008’s most prestigious Welsh construction contract. Thanks to the efforts of the Scarlets and Carmarthenshire County Council, rugby fans will experience one of the finest new grounds in the UK.”

Stadium design was provided by specialist sports stadia architects The Miller Partnership, whose designs include Murrayfield.

Structural steelwork for the development was provided by Rowecord Engineering Ltd, Newport.

The Castell Howell South Stand is the largest stand with capacity of 5,748. The Gravells North Stand holds 4,402 with terrace area for supporters who prefer to stand to watch on match days. The Link Telecom East Stand holds 2,095 spectators and the KL Plant West stand holds another 2,095.

Facilities at Parc y Scarlets include:

On the ground floor of the south stand - a traditional pub, a large welcome foyer, a Scarlets shop and museum, media facilities plus team areas including players’ gym and cardio studio, physiotherapy/medical treatment rooms, changing facilities, home and away dressing rooms, players restaurant and coaching staff offices.

The first floor includes large eating and drinking areas for all supporters.

The second floor has a main entertainment lounge that comfortably seats 350. Matchday sees it used by match sponsors and members of the Scarlets Business Club. On other days it is used for functions such as conferences and wedding receptions.

The top floor has 15 hospitality boxes, a lounge for main sponsors and a lounge for debenture holders. The whole of this tier has panoramic pitchside windows along with high-spec indoor and outdoor seating.

The complex includes an indoor training barn and associated changing rooms, a training pitch, athletics track, car parking and access. These facilities will be open to the community for use year round.

The Scarlets decided not to sell the naming rights for the stadium in favour of maintaining the region’s great heritage and tradition by calling the stadium Parc y Scarlets

The Scarlets also pay tribute to the region’s celebrated legends in key parts of the ground.

* The main partners lounge is The Carwyn James sponsors lounge
* The debentures lounge is The Phil Bennett lounge
* The Business Club lounge is The Quinnell lounge (in tribute to the whole rugby family)
* The museum is The Ken Jones Museum
* The pub on the south stand’s ground floor is The Delme Thomas.
* The 15 hospitality boxes are named after Scarlets greats - Ray Williams, Andy Hill, Albert Jenkins, Ieuan Evans, Norman Gale, Phil Davies, Phil May, RH Williams, Gareth Jenkins, Marlston Morgan, Ivor Jones, Huw Evans/Stuart Gallacher, Rupert Moon, Charles William Mansel-Lewis.

There is a parade of Welsh, Carmarthenshire and Scarlets flags at the main entrance and a walkway featuring commemorative bricks bearing the names of every Llanelli player that has been capped for Wales alongside the names of fans.

David Williams-Ellis, one of the world’s foremost figurative sculptors has been selected to create a bronze sculpture of Ray Gravell to take pride of place outside the stadium.

The commission is due to be unveiled in 2009, raised on a stone plinth.

The famous scoreboard and clock from Stradey Park and the ground’s centenary entrance gates have been moved to Parc y Scarlets.

Parc y Scarlets has the first rugby pitch in the UK to use fibre elastic reinforcing technology combined with 100% natural grass surface (ie no synthetic grass content). This creates a naturally ‘spongy’ surface leaving players less prone to abrasions and injuries. It has under-soil heating and top-of-the-range drainage to ensure the surface is fit for play in all weathers.
