Connacht reveal ambitious plans for new stadium

Connacht have revealed plans for a 10,000 seater stadium as Galway turns green in advance of the province’s biggest fixture in its professional era.

With the Galway Sportsground sold out for another week, Connacht chief executive Willie Ruane has revealed plans to either renovate and extend the College Road facility or build a new stadium elsewhere in the city.

“The stadium is something we have as our utmost priority,” Ruane said yesterday at the launch of Connacht Rugby’s Vision and Strategy for the next four years.
