Cheers alonso!
Havelock Square again:
Lansdowne Lane
Podium over the Railway Line
From Lansdowne Road itself
From Newbridge Avenue
Closer up
A reminder of the owner/tenant arrangement of the past, not sure if this is to remain
It’s now looking good! The CAD renders made it look as though the outer cladding was going to obscure much of the detail (which I didn’t think worked at all), but these pictures show much more articulation, with a definite horizontal banding to complement the verticality of the stands. Am I right?
Saw it from the vicinity of Grand Canal Dock in early Dec – it was looming impressively over Ballsbridge.dammit i was just driving camera-less over Grand Canal Street Bridge southbound and the view from here is pretty spectacular, as is the view from Ringsend Bridge…
I shall return around Easter with some more pics, unless some dramatic development onsite occurs and i will head back over sooner.
Congratulations to Lansdowne Road on getting to host the UEFA Europa League Cup Final in 2011.
Well Done!
As posted on another thread I can 99% confirm that many of the seats at the very back of the upper tier will have restricted views of the far side of the pitch. This comes as a big disappointed & seems like a pathetic mistake to have taken place
some wider shots of the new place
From the bridge on Grand Canal St
Ringsend Bridge
Towering over Bath Avenue
There’s a joke about better quality on the wings in here somewhere – (this guy was massive and very very loud)
wow it looks like some kind of Lebbeus Woods metastructure…..hmm if only the could leave it unfinished 🙂
Great photos Alonso and Paddy.
Shame the place only holds 50,000.
If it’s a battle trying to get tickets for an 82,200 capacity stadium a few miles away, whats it going to be like getting to a match here ?Why does the new Lansdowne Road (Aviva) have such a small capacity given it’s similar footprint to Croke Park ?

The answer is well documented in this thread. Croke Park has a considerably larger footprint with far less constraints.
I must say i think that the initial design was far superior. i really liked the glass shell… It was a signature feature.
it’s a real pity that it was changed imo, it just looks functional, dull and boring now.

I’m confused, which one do you think they are building? Because they are building the top one of the two pics you posted.

i am confused as well, I had been trying to reconcile what was actually being built to the first picture and cant, looks much closer to the design below.
can someone confirm what is happening?:confused:

This ! not sure what ofjames is on about, in fairness it can’t be described as dull and boring as stadiums go.
