I call it Landsdowne road, don't know much about the other 2 but why does everyone in the media refer to these places as their sponsors name?

I will never call it by the sponsors name. They took over Hibernian insurance and basically shut it down and moved operations to India with major job losses, pretty insulting to see their name on the national stadium.

I still call Lansdowne Road, Lansdowne Road. When they hosted the Europa League a few years ago, due to Corporate and Sponsorship reasons, they were not allowed to call it The Aviva, so they named it The Dublin Arena. I'd say a fair few asking for directions got a blank look that night.

Have they taken over the National Stadium as well?

The world's first purpose-built boxing stadium, I'll have ye know.
