Our Hospitality team were excited to officially present the newly-renovated lounge to Hospitality Season Ticket holders at Saturday’s season opener, with City supporters enjoying their matchday experience in the suite, which has been designed with our 125th anniversary season specifically in mind.
Club legends now adorn the walls surrounding the Ricoh Diamond Suite, with catering partner Compass offering a wide range of delicious food and beverage options from the modern restaurant space and brand-new bars, and Beer Partner, Carling providing a selection of their iconic drinks every matchday.
A more contemporary look and feel built by Benchmark, partnered with upgraded event production powered by Genero, contributes to the immersive matchday experience, from the moment you walk in through our doors until well after the Man of the Match Award has been presented on stage.
Executive Director & CEO Ken Choo said: “We are delighted with the work done to renovate the Ricoh Diamond Suite for the Club’s 125th anniversary season and look forward to welcoming supporters old and new through our doors during this new campaign. This collaboration between the Club and our partners has allowed us to create a tremendous space which celebrates our history and showcases the best of Hospitality at Cardiff City Stadium.”
