Artist’s impressions of the redeveloped Sportsground

After much speculation we are delighted to release artists impressions of how the home of Connacht rugby will look for the 2011/12 season. Work started on the Clan Terrace 2 weeks ago and is set to be completed for Connacht’s first RaboDirect PRO12 game in early September. The covering will provide much needed shelter to the Connacht faithful and enhance the matchday experience for all supporters.
There is other work being undertaken behind this stand which will see the construction of new bar, catering and restroom facilities and we will release drawings in the near future.

The second major development is will be the erecting of a covered, seated stand on the West side of the ground. This stand will cater for over 300 supporters in a structure that will be similar to that which was in place for Connacht’s Amlin Challenge Cup semi final against Toulon in 2010. This stand, along with the other developments are anticipated to greatly improve overall facilities within the Sportsground and help make the home of Connacht Rugby a fun, safe and enjoyable venue for years to come.
