You can't say that for sure. The draw for 2016 hasn't been done yet. 2016 is the start of another 2 year cycle, where everything starts from scratch again. So no one can say what their home & away league games in 2016 will be, based on who/where they played in 2015.
If your co ground is out of commission during next years league, playing games in Croke Park may be an option.
In previous years, when counties had a problem with their own ground, the Dublin Co Board have offered to have our away game with them in Croker. We did this with Kildare, back in 2013 when they couldn't get a health & safety cert for Newbridge. Same thing happened with Kerry in 2012.
Another option is the DCB offering up the chance to to play one of your non Dublin away games in Croker. It will be part of a double header, with a Dubs game on later. That happened in 2013, where Cork and Donegal played each other, prior to Dublin playing Kerry. The spectators may not like having to hit the road for what is supposed to be a home game, but the co boards like it as they get a much bigger pay check, than if they played the game at home. Managers like it too, as they get to give the newer lads on their panels a run out at Croke Park early in the year. Roscommon v Mayo under the lights at Croker, could be quite a tasty appetizer to Dublin v Kerry next year, no?
Congrats on your great year btw & welcome to the big time. We are all fierce excited up here, at getting to see that badass bus of yours.

Few Rossies would be upset if we played an 'away' game against Cork or Kerry in Croker. Far handier to get up the motorway to Dublin. And it's not like Cork in particular bring much meaningful support to home league games.. but I don't see Mayo or Roscommon giving up a home game to play in Croke Park. Too big of a local rivalry.
But again, this will only be an issue in 2017 if we're in D1. The Hyde will be open for the entire league in 2016.0 -
