Lansdowne Road was a stadium in Dublin owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) that has been the location of a number of sports stadiums. It was used primarily for rugby union and for association football matches as well as some music concerts. The stadium was demolished in 2007 to make way for the construction of a new Stadium, which opened in 2010. In February 2009 a sponsorship deal, reported to be in the region of €44 million for 10 years, was struck under which the new stadium would be known as Aviva Stadium, which opened on 7 August 2010.
Personally, I don't like the idea of selling naming rights and I would much prefer if it was known as Lansdowne Stadium.
Lansdowne Road took its name from the adjacent street.
