About
Large, modern bowl-style stadium in Ballsbridge that hosts Ireland’s home rugby and football matches as well as major concerts and occasional American football fixtures. On big event days the area around Lansdowne Road fills with supporters walking in from all directions, with families mixing easily among the crowd. Inside, the seating is fully reserved, views are clear even from the upper levels, and large screens help kids follow the action. The concourses are wide, well-lit and easy to navigate, with plenty of food kiosks and clear signage. Stewards are visible throughout the venue, which helps families get settled quickly. The atmosphere can be extremely loud during matches and concerts, so ear defenders are useful for younger children. It’s a lively, high-energy setting that works well for families who enjoy big events and don’t mind the noise and crowds.
