Lansdowne RoadLansdowne Road is situtated in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland. It touches the River Dodder and has many fine redbrick houses, mostly Victorian. It is home to the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU), a DART station of the same name, and the Marist Brothers' Marian College. In the IRFU grounds, Irish rugby and soccer international matches are played. The ground is also home to Wanderers and Lansdowne Rugby clubs and, as of the 2004-05 season, the Leinster provincial team. The grounds have also occasionally been used for music concerts. The stadium is set to be redeveloped by 2008 creating a 50,000 all-seater soccer and rugby stadium. It has yet to be decided where soccer and rugby games will be played while it is being redeveloped. The only stadium big enough in all of Ireland is Croke Park, but it belongs to the Gaelic Athletic Association, whose constitution does not allow foreign games to be played on their grounds.
