GAA consider upgrade of New York’s Gaelic Park

THE GAA is to look into upgrading Gaelic Park in New York, through the development of an all-weather pitch and the installation of floodlighting.

However, the plan is only at the discussion stage, involving the New York Board and Manhattan College, the owners of the ground.

It follows the decision earlier in the year to develop a stadium on a greenfield site on Randall’s Island for a number of reasons; primarily cost and the fact that a 20-year agreement offered minimal security for the Association’s future needs in the city.
