Cork GAA estimated they would be able to sell Páirc Uí Chaoimh’s naming rights for €500,000 per annum nine years ago, almost twice as much as they are expected to collect now.

In their 2015 business plans compiled to secure €30 million of Government funding towards the redevelopment of the stadium, board executives stated they could land a considerable contract partly based on the recent success of the county at the time.
