I really don't get this fixation about the optics of grounds on TV.
While I understand it has some relevance, surely the quality of the football and the competitiveness of the match are more important considerations for attracting viewers.
Presented with a choice in watching an Ireland V Kazakhstan friendly in the Aviva or Dundalk V Shamrock Rovers in Oriel Park / St Pats V Derry CIty in Richmond the LoI fixture would win out every time for me
