New Stadiums

I think the only decent redevelopment done on a provincial ground recently is O'Connor Park. Offaly built a really good stand and the terracing is decent.
A few grounds should be developed to a high standard and used for the majority of high profile games it's madness that a lot of counties want a 30k ground when most games will have about 10% capacity.Some awful ****s in positions of power in the GAA who will always try to make sure their county gets looked after when it makes no sense whatsoever.

What do you mean by 'dwarf loi facilities'? They are bigger, sure. But most county grounds recently had their safe capacities slashed. Are you saying Parnell Park is as good a stadium for punters as Tallaght? Markevic Park the Showgrounds? Fraher Field the RSC? Most county grounds are dumps and there has been much less upgraded facilities not the gaa than football or rugby recently. That is largely because the plans are based more on outdoing the neighbours than practical plans.

What's the story with Finn Harps new stadium?

They should never have built it. They could have put a stand on the far side of Finn Park.

Banc of California stadium opened last night, home of LAFC. Lovely stadium, 22,000 capacity and very steep banks.
