Hats are available in the souvenir shop.

It does look pretty awful.

If/when Phase II rolls out.

I agree with Bald Student's "neat" assessment, in the "tidy" meaning.

I was down there yesterday, look well, far better than the old Belfield, but i would worry about Drainage as it as Banks coming from all for sides.
Is there just going to be one stand or are there plans for anything else, what will happen to the old Ground !

There are plans to build a stand on the opposite side of the ground, also with 1,500 seated capacity. I think there is also a phase 3 which is to build stands behind the goal, but that is unlikely to happen IMO.

The old ground is being knocked to make space for a biotechnology centre.

Also where exactly is the Bowl? Do you keep going past the hockey pitch?

No, go past it once and you'll find the Bowl.

The hocky pitch is pretty much between the sports centre and the Bowl.

The other flanking buildings are Health Sciences (the big white one, not an elephant, honest), and Hugh Brady's house (or, as I prefer to call it, Mordor).

Actually, you played in the 11-a-side fans' game with they-who-are-expunged, right? That's the final flanking landmark.

I didn't actually.

It's okay, I expunged it from memory too.

I was down there a few minutes ago. Took a few photos, might get them up later. The perimeter fence is taking shape and between it and the wall being erected behind the stand it should impede the view of anyone who doesn't fancy paying. I managed to walk into the stand and it looks pretty decent.

There's some floodlights up too. One at each corner and a couple behind the stand so they don't impede the view from the stand.

I have some close up pictures of the stand here.

The floodlight on the roof looks funny, like you'd half expect it to come off with a bit of wind.

Fair play with the photos. Without trawling through the whole thread will UCD be playing there next season?

Also they look like the best seats in the league. Have always hated the flip up seats.
