Six Nations venues - Lansdowne Road
Capacity 49,000 (25,000 seated), 36,000 when all seated.
Lansdowne Road was a sports stadium in Dublin owned by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU).
It was used primarily for rugby union, but also for major association football matches and music concerts.
It was demolished in 2007 to make way for the construction of Aviva Stadium, due to open in 2010.
The stadium was situated in the neighbourhood of Ballsbridge in the city's Dublin 4 area.
The stadium had convenient public transport links as the Lansdowne Road station of the Dublin Area Rapid Transit rail system is adjacent to the site and passed directly underneath the West Stand.
The stadium was named after the nearby road, which in turn was named after the Marquess of Lansdowne.
The Marquis was also the Earl of Shelburne, and nearby Shelbourne Road is also named after him.
