Final touches being made to Aviva Stadium

WITH just weeks to go before the gates of Ireland’s premier football and rugby stadium reopens to the public, its developers are on the home straight putting the final important touches to the sports grounds.

The spaceship-like exterior of the Aviva Stadium looms over Dublin city. But inside, its technological set-up will be just as impressive as the glass dome set amid the skyline.

A purpose-built hi-tech security and communications “nerve centre” will give security and gardaí an oversight of nearly every angle in the new 50,000-spectator venue.
