Brothers raise their game with €9m sports arena

A CASUALTY of the recession has turned into a sporting venture for two Limerick brothers.

What started out as a pharmaceutical distribution centre but was abandoned because of the recession yesterday opened as an indoor sports arena in Limerick.

The €9 million Delta Soccer Dome at the Delta Retail Park at Ballysimon Road is the largest indoor astro-turf arena in Munster with seven indoor pitches, two indoor tennis courts, four badminton courts and a trampoline court.
