Didn't the Hogan Stand always have a VIP section? You'd hardly put the President and the Taoiseach on the hill now, would you?
And didn't the sale of corporate boxes in Croke Park pay for the majority of the work done in rebuilding the stadium?
As for sponsors, why shouldn't you give them a few perks like preferential seating at the games? God forbid if we ever have to go back to standing on muddy hills and urinating up against the nearest wall at half time because the stinking jacks aren't big enough. That's what we'd be doing if it wasn't for sponsors. It just makes good business sense to take care of the boys that take care of us.
