Aviva Stadium is situated on the oldest
rugby grounds in the world.
Waste Management – A Practical
and Sustainable Approach
It is the home of international rugby in
Ireland and international football for the
Republic of Ireland.
The old Lansdowne Road stadium
developed piecemeal over 100+ years
but was no longer fit for purpose.
Final planning permission for the
demolition and reconstruction was
granted in March 2007.
Presented by:
Bill Enright
Demolition commenced in May 2007.
Aviva Stadium was launched on 14th
May 2010.
Aviva Stadium is a 50,000+ all seated
stadium.
