The GAA should have made a 70,000 seater stadium, and done it properly. The lower tier of the hill 16 end could still have been terraced, and the atmosphere from that end of the stadium would reverberate around the pitch, not disappear into the sky. The GAA only wanted as much capacity as possible, to hell with quality. A visitor from a country that builds things properly would laugh at Croke Park. New lansdowne too small capacity, and the pitch will not facilitate GAA games, typical Ireland!

Looking over all the comments from the last 3 years everyone wants to know why only 50,000 cap? 1 reason is because they cant afford it! they could barely manage to get the money for this stadium only for the help of the government and also because of the situation it is located in, it would not be possible due to the fact their are lots of housed in the surrounding areas. Lets hope the GAA lets us use croke park now and again after it is completed. I think the Stadiums look great.

Maybe they can retro fit some inn also think its a bit too small capacity wise because of the sharpe dip to accomadate for the residents on one side.

Some photos would be great, plus a schedule of work; there is a lot of interest in the new stadium. Hopefully matches will start again at the new Lansdowne Road in 2009! 50,000 is a great number for a rugby stadium. Even if it were 100,000 it still wouldn't be big enough for the rugby internationals, so tickets will always be in great demand. Hopefully it will have character and feel like the new Welsh stadium.

That won't work. Fifa also wouldn't allow the terrace to be used thus reducing the capacity for competitive matches. Lansdowne just got special dispensation because the FAI intended building a new stadium. You can’t force the most powerful sporting organisation in the country to permanently open their doors.
