                      Today, Ireland won over England in Lansdowne Road.
  On 12 march, Ireland-France will be the last 6 nation match in this   historical stadium (the oldest in the world to host international   games).
 
  That's a good new: LR is too old and may be dangerous.
 
  But I don't understand one thing: some people (the "famous" Pierre   Salviac) say that the New Lansdowne Road will have only 50 000 places   instead of 55 000 right now.
  It's a bit pity to build a new stadium and to loose spectator in the same time.
 
  Why not building a 80 000 places stadium for both Football and Rugby in Dublin ?     

The stadium has already been built.  The stadium is surrounded by a residential area and there was no space to build a stadium with much bigger capacity.  There is already an 80,000 capacity stadium in Dublin- Croke Park but it's mostly reserved for Irish sports.
