Considering its the Times, I would suspect that there is some foundation to the story. Aviva sounds alot better than say the Quinn Direct stadium anyways. Wonder how long the 40m would cover - ten years? Nice little earner for IRFU/FAI.
Tribune had the same story re friendly in August. As the capacity would be circa 25k, it is expected that the game will be against a "mid tier" European side. Great idea to have a friendly there imo.
