Hotel car park across the road would actually be better to park in though.

The car park behing the hotel should be open too, it's not that big though and they might have attendants moving people on if they're not there for shopping (it's the car park for Woodies and Lidl too).
If you're coming in the Naas rd (which you probably aren't) the Red Cow luas "park n go" costs €4 for the day
Another option is to park around at the Luas stop side of the square. Its at level two and you'll have to walk around the square to get up to the ground but as its on the side of tesco and that opens late (to midnight or 24 hours, I'm not sure- it changed recently) and the Luas runs until well after midnight.
EDIT; just checked, Tesco is open until 12. Either way you were fine
There is always a bunch of 12yr olds available in the area to valet park for you;)
Is there any bars nearby?
The bars at the Plaza hotel are probably nearest
The Maldron is across the road.
LOL, totally forgot about that. Always painst thinner in woodies tooQuote:

Traffic is heavy near the stadium on Friday evenings normally and could be mental but loadza people trying to park for the game.
Id strongly recommend any Sligo or Rovers fans to leave your car in the Luas Park and Ride at the Red Cow and get the tram up to the stadium. Tram comes every 5 mins and will take about 10 minutes to get up. Id bet that this is the most hastle free way to do it.

On the way back from the ground, trams leave Tallaght every 20 minutes after 10pm on weeknights.
