New Stadium At Lansdowne Road (Dublin)

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.

Trinity College – June Bank Holiday Weekend

The University of Dublin, corporately designated the Chancellor, Doctors and Masters of the University of Dublin (since the 19th century), located in Dublin, Ireland, was effectively founded when in 1592, Queen Elizabeth I issued a charter for Trinity College, Dublin as "the mother of a university" – this date making it Ireland’s oldest operating university. This is one of the seven ancient universities in the English speaking world and the only one outside the present United Kingdom.
Unlike the universities of Oxford and of Cambridge, after which the University of Dublin was modelled and both of which comprise several constituent colleges, there is just one Dublin college: Trinity College. Thus the designations "Trinity College Dublin" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for practical purposes.
