ScottyAlba Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 My brother went to it 2nd time round at Carling Cup games. Said it was good. I went back in 2006 when I was over for the 6 Nations. Thought it was brilliant. The restaurant did the best Irish Stew (made with Guinness). J Cheers Guys. Was a toss up between Guinness Storehouse or Dublin Castle. But obviously the some decent food and a few pints of the black stuff on the way round seals it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the scotland fans likely to be in the stadium? On the photo (see link) - scotland fans OFFICIAL ticket allocation will be in the North Stand (end left of photo) ,,,,,,ye ALSO MIGHT also be allocated some tickets on the LOWER tier corner of the North Stand/EAST Stand (the lower section just before where "AVIVA" is written)....but that depends on the F.A.I's generosity http://www.pmgroup-global.com/getattachment/912c8963-3c7c-4c91-aa56-b7e4eb1fe673/Aviva-Stadium-1.aspx?1423008000051 Edited March 10, 2015 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Whilst your here GTR... Something I've been wanting to know the answer to since the carling nations.. Why is one of the stands tiny ? Is there a particular reason behind it or did they over do it with other 3 stands & realise they didn't have much land left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is one of the stands tiny ? Is there a particular reason behind it or did they over do it with other 3 stands & realise they didn't have much land left? If you take a look at the photo again.. http://www.pmgroup-global.com/getattachment/912c8963-3c7c-4c91-aa56-b7e4eb1fe673/Aviva-Stadium-1.aspx?1423008000051 Behind the small stand (the one on the left) , you will see residential housing estates behind it. Seemingly the residents of those houses refused to allow the FAI/IRFU to buy them out and they also refused to allow that stand to be large stand on the end of the stadium due to it been so close to their residential properties and that it would have blocked sunlight into the area. The top half of that small stand is all Glass ...which was purposely done to allow sunlight through into that residential area. Not sure the FAI/IRFU would have had the budgetary requirements to buy out all those properties anyway as the stadium is located in a fairly affluent area of Dublin. But the reason for the small stand is due to local residents behind it refusing a large one which they are entitled to do on legal grounds Pity...its a great stadium with the exception of that end Edited March 10, 2015 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
