==Stadium== [[File:Parc y Scarlets.jpg|thumb|Scarlets current home ground, [[Parc y Scarlets]]]] From 2003 to the 2007β08 season, the Scarlets played most of their home matches at Llanelli's Stradey Park (also the home of Llanelli RFC). However, they have played several games in North Wales, at [[Wrexham]]'s [[Racecourse Ground]], to promote the region's geographical representation. The last league game played at the Racecourse Ground was in September 2005.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/scarlets-host-first-match-north-11489556 |title=Scarlets host first match in North Wales for 11 years with Bath pre-season clash |last=Griffiths |first=Gareth |date=17 June 2016 |work=Wales Online |access-date=1 February 2019 }}</ref> The 2006β07 season was planned to be the last season played at Stradey Park, which was subsequently to be demolished for the building of apartments. The Scarlets played every home game of the 2006β07 season at Stradey Park to commemorate the historic ground. They played their last game at Stradey Park on 24 October 2008 against Bristol, and their first game at Parc y Scarlets on 28 November 2008 against Munster.
