History
The Principality Stadium in Cardiff was built as the county’s first purpose-built cricket venue. The ground hosted its first match on May 17, 1967, when Glamorgan played the visiting Indian side in Sophia Gardens. It wasn’t until nearly 30 years later that it became official.
The clubs 74-year search for a home ground came to an end in November 1995, when they signed a 125-year lease.
The cricket pitch now occupies the same location as a former ‘Barnum and Bailey’s traveling circus’ and ‘Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show,’ which featured a menagerie. One can only wonder whether Glamorgan supporters might secretly wish to return to those long-gone days, when their team was never good enough.
Since 1967, Glamorgan has played on and off at Sophia Gardens due to the leaseholders of the time, Cardiff Athletic Club, having a pitch laid and investing £25,000 in a new pavilion. The ground has seen some important games in Glamorgan’s history, notably in 1969 when they won the County Championship against Worcesters
