The facility at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan, Co Mayo opened in 2020 as the biggest sports dome in the world

A leading Connacht GAA official has revealed how FC Barcelona came to view the province’s ground-breaking air dome. and has proved to be a very useful venue, particularly for games in winter months.

“We built this place for about, ballpark, €3.1-€3.5 million. That would now cost between €8-€9 million. We had a hole to put it into. We had a carpark there that put it down eight or nine metres below ground level.“That is important because of the weather we had. It takes managing. It is not just put it up and they’ll come. Put it up and don’t manage it and there will be lessons.”
