    One of the worst in hurling but we are blessed compared to the state some of the football counties have let their grounds get to. Big mistake not to knock it with the rest of the stadium.

    The majority of GAA stadiums willingly took a hit on capacity numbers and it will never go back up.

    If they ever do build a new Mackey it's actually more likely to go down even more.

    There were talks a number of years ago about roofing the North Stand.

    The mackey needs to be knocked. It is a big stand with very tight circulation underneath.

    I suppose a cost benefit analysis would not look favourable given the limited number of games.

    standard of most gaa grounds are a disgrace in every county bar dublin and puc at a stretch. They are not about comfort design or facilities. They are just concrete structures to contain 43k people for two hours.

    Nearly 20 years old thomond park is a completely different supporter experience. Way more professional. I would be confident in bringing any uk/usa person there. While Gaelic grounds thurles definitely not


    i know rugby is professional etc etc but that doesn’t mean the grounds have to be decrepit. Tullamore built a lovely main stand from bag packing at dunnes and Tesco so surely limerick gaa could do similar main stand but bigger.

    And a roof over the north. Even a white tent thing that the rds used.
