Hey guys,
Ive been really interested in seeing how the redevelopment has been progressing at Landsdowne Road. Normally i would log onto http://www.lrsdc.ie/ to have a look at the gallery but since October there has been no updates.
Does anyone have any very recent pics of the stadium or a link to another gallery somewhere?
Cheers in advance
Search the web and you'll find stuff like this:

Together with all our hearts.
Check out Lansdowne Road redevelopment website for the latest aerial shots. It's coming on well. I think that the IRFU and the FAI will buy up the houses at the Havelock Square/single tier end over time and complete the stadium properly at a later date, thus bringing the capacity up to 60,000-65,000. The stands along the pitch are very steep - will definately create a great atmosphere! Hopefully the the stands will still be close to the pitch. Fingers crossed that it turns out more like Benfica's stadium than the Emirates.
seen the latest pics, no sign of the single teir though developing yet,
Probably leaving that for now to allow access to the site.
Yeh but its a carpark.... cant play on that.... I dont see any balls either......
I see it from the "DORT" regularly but the other angles from photos look impressive. Can't wait to see Dublin v Tyrone there.
Its flying up. To think it will be ready this time next year!
is it due to be completed for next years 6 nations?
April 2010 is handover date ( project is currently 4 weeks ahead).Italy Scotland and Wales will be final 6 nations games in Croker next year.Montenegro will, barring a play-off be final competitive football fixture.Personally, I can't wait to get back.
Looking good now especially from the aerial shots.

i agree, looking at the most recent photos, it seems as though the stands will be right on top of the pitch, perfect for great atmosphere.
I see on that RTE Capital D programme one of the leaders of local residents was saying that their fears of the new stadium had turned out to be unforunded & that it was looking much nicer than old stadium - glass panels as opposed to corrugated iron sheets.
Seen that. The new stadium will blend in more(as much as a stadium can) than the old one did. Looks like it will be a stadium to be proud of.
Seen that too. Hopefully the stand with one tier (north stand?) will be built up to a 3 tier eventually.
Not being smart but like that was always gonna be the case based on the final drawings for the stadium, the old stadium was an eyesore from the local residents point of view.
I work in one of the gov buildings on kildare st, and from the canteen on the top floor we've a perfect view of Lansdowne.
Have to say got a lump in the throat looking at it this avo. Looks brilliant, you can see the concrete shell where the steps will go on the East Upper tier.
Can't wait for normality to resume, Ireland winning games in Lansdowne, and Kerry winning games in Croker.
Can't wait.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
