I'd pretty much guarantee it in fact. They're talking about maximising the use of the stadium to increase revenue, which makes sense from a purely commercial point of view. The cheapest and easiest way to get more income out of an under-utilised sports stadium is to have a sports club based there permanently. Using it 25-35 times a year as a solid anchor tenant, including across the least appealing months for other uses like outdoor gigs etc.
You can just see a load of yanks thinking that Dublin should really have a team playing in the world's richest football league next door, and that they'd be the bright sparks who could make it happen. The Dundalk Dons, perhaps ?
