You've never been it so how the f*ck could you tell? It's a beautiful stadium and the design is for a particular reason (one I'm not going to tell you cause you sound like a d*ck)
I was at the match v Wales. First half was appalling but second half we performed very well. Ciaran Clark and Damien Duff in particular. Gibson's screamer was worth the entrance fee alone. Roll on the French (rugby) on Sunday

Touchy
I was as polite as possible
If I came on here spouting off how sh1te Wembley was there would soon be ructions. As I said he ain't been to the stadium and has no idea about the design behind it.
As usual, with most idiots (and I rarely call someone an idiot) he's spoke before he's thought. It's a stupid post.

The design for the Aviva Stadium was specifically formulated to be sensitive to the surrounding area. The north end of the Aviva stadium has a dramatic dip to the roof and seating to allow sunlight to the houses immediately behind, and likewise at the south end to provide daylight to the buildings along Lansdowne Road. The environment and sustainability were a prominent part of the design process with rain water collected to irrigate the pitch and waste heat from the generators used to heat the water for the toilets. The glass and polycarbonate cladding are designed to flood the public areas of the stadium with natural light and the escalators are fitted with sensors to ensure they only run when people are standing on them.

Well done.
For someone to comment on the new stadium as shocking is an insult to anyone involved or supporting Irish sport. The previous stadium, Lansdowne Road, which the Aviva is built upon, was the oldest stadium in Europe and I think the oldest rugby venue in the world. To build what they've built in such a small country is remarkable and inside the stadium itself is absolutely fantastic.
A joy to watch sport being played there, hence my reaction to the original negative post.

Munster were beaten by Leicester in their last game there weren't they.

It's a beautiful layout. Facilities much better and atmosphere is fantastic for soccer and rugby. If Croker had all four sides as a stadium there wouldn't be a stadia in europe to match it for noise but unfortunately we still got the f*cking hill!
Maybe we'll get a ogf outing for macedonia at home next month

the aviva when being built and designed was by the same people who did the emirates and the benfica stadium. aparantly they were in close contact with the people at arsenal throughout the construction.
i went over at the start of the year and i dont think the tour guide had turned up so the projects and events manager gave me a free tour. nice stadium that really small end is a bit ridiculous but they had to do it so its a small price to pay i think.

It was the same guys that designed our stadium mate. Ah well at least it didnt cost over a billion, and was on time, under budget, and didnt start to bloody sink
Its original and doesnt look like on of those bags for life from the distance, and a shopping center on the outside, like that stadium in the middle of that real classy area, the one thats like a bit industrial estate with a car park in the middle......eeerrrr wembley.
