Parc y Scarlets Fact File

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.
