Casement Park in line for major overhaul - 40,000 all seater Stadium.

Will Casement be the biggest stadium in Ireland outside of Croke and Aviva ?

Semple, Limerick, Killarney are all bigger but they are more grounds than stadiums if you could differentiate between a stadia and ground.

What's the difference between a ground and a stadium?

[T Fearon]

For ground and stadium comparison ,think chapel and cathedral.

I hear you in this context stadium being internationally recognised sporting venue and ground being 19th century design constructed in 21st century for an extortianate rate must be grey and dreary obviously no protection from the elements and constructed in such a death trap way that it will need huge areas shut down at the next health and safety review optionial extras such as traditional style pillars and flloodlights placed to obstruct viewing, toilet and burger van facilities restricted for the prawn sandwich munching old trafford types.
On a serious note I think rail terracing at the open end would be an excellent idea and might allow a few rows to be knocked off the side stands to reduce the height for the residents without compromising capacity

Catholics use Chapels wrong. It's a Church. A chapel is a church within another building,  for instance a hospital.

Heard if the residents want to take it to the European courts they will have to stump up 30 grand

[ziggysego]

Will there be a chapel in the new stadium?

In the disabled section.

What if someone who is 104, has no dough and wants to bring a case to ECHR, they have to pay 30 grand?
Jeez........

That's what I heard, maybe someone can say different, I suppose it depends on the type of hearing you are going for

Your hearing couldn't be great if you are 104.

This whole idea of having premium levels and VIP areas to my mind is far removed from the ethos of the GAA. I don't mind the smallish section you get in Semple, Armagh, Omagh etc. But this introduces division based on money and influence. I would see through it if Clubs were to get a sahre of such tickets for their use but that won't happen.

The reason for the height is to accommodate the premium levels. Funny how they never mentioned that!!

I would say there will be some rogues "6ft 4 & 20 stone" in the premium boxes
