Reply To: An Irish National Stadium!

The new landsdowne Looks really good I think. Arup did an excellent job in eliminating potential planning problems.

The only decision is do the government cough up the €83m they are asked for or give the Abbotstown lands to a developer buddy. The lands are conservatively worth more than €83m at Abbotstown.

They should go with this and sell the Abbotstown lands on the open market to pay for it.

More important than capacity this looks the part, and I think it would have the atmosphere of a larger stadium. Old Trafford holds 6000 more than this but looks vastly inferior.
