New Stadium

Just FYI,
The new stadium in behind the medicine building gets its first competitive match tonight. UCD vs Derry in soccer at about half seven.

You're right, I probably wasn't very clear. 'Redeveloped' is probably a better word than 'new'. A bigger stand was put in as well as a little bit of terracing and creature comforts like spectator toilets and a shop.

dropped into the UCD vs Kildare match a few weeks back and i was really impressed with the Bowl, the facilities are from a different world compared to Belfield Park and you can't ask for a better location on campus. only negative aspect is the pitch, which was awful due to the rugby and i was speaking to a player who said he was concerned over it for the season ahead

great nifty little ground tho'

For playing rugby its great IMHO but for soccer i'd have my doubts, the grass seems wrong ,too robust and doesn't seem like you could pass a ball along it easily. Plus there are craploads of potchmarks/divets last time I played there, still really good facilities
