Terraces

 

Following a review of Terrace management at the stadium and the commissioning of an independent report by Eamon O’Boyle and Associates, a new Terrace filling system will be trialled on Sunday. 

 

We ask that supporters show patience with us as we put new structures in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Please respect all stewards and security staff.

 

The Blackrock Terrace will be open on Sunday and will be split into three even sectors. The middle sector will be filled first, before the other sectors are opened. 

 

Families with children’s tickets will be given the option to access an family only area at the North Stand side of the Terrace, once they have entered the regular Terrace turnstiles.

 

For Tipperary game on the following Saturday, this process will be repeated at the City End Terrace.

 

Alcohol will not be available for sale in the Terraces areas during this trial period. Hot food and confectionary outlets will be open as per normal.
