Rovers new stadium and the national basketball arena are almost on top of each other. It makes sense to try and build a sense of community around the Shamrock Rovers name, by having all sports coming out of tallaght bearing the Rovers 'brand' (so to speak).

Having a basketball team hasn't done Barcelona any damage.
