Cardiff Arena, also known as Cardiff Bay Ice Arena and by ice hockey fans as the Big Blue Tent, was a temporary ice rink at Cardiff International Sports Village in Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales. It had a capacity of 2,500 for ice hockey and was home to the Cardiff Devils after leaving the Wales National Ice Rink which was being demolished to make way for a John Lewis department store.
It was also used for figure skating and hosted three competitions (in February 2009, 2011 and 2012). It was replaced as the home of the Cardiff Devils when they moved into the Ice Arena Wales.
