		The Stadium was renovated in 2002 and reopened in May 2003.

	News - 23 July 1998
		THE GALWAY City Council is sceptical about funding the Pearse Stadium re-development project to the tune of £300,000 because of the history of the GAA closing its stadia off to other sports.
		Frank Burke said the necessary facilities were not in place in the stadium before to consistently house Connacht finals, and he said he was giving his commitment that the stadium will not be allowed fall into such bad shape again.
		Pearse Stadium was first opened on June 16 1957 when the Galway footballers, All Ireland Champions the year before, defeated Kerry.

		Pearse Stadium in Salthill is set to become the venue for the music concert of the year in the west, as an approach has been made to the stadium's committee to consider using the venue for a massive summer concert.
		Pearse Stadium can seat c30,000 but allowing standing room on the pitch could increase that capacity to closer to 40,000.
		Seeking to use a venue the size of Pearse Stadium indicates Aiken Promotions is interested in bringing an artist who could draw a capacity crowd.

	Irish Echo Online - Sports
		The future of Pearse Stadium in Galway, which was redeveloped in recent years at a cost of â¬12 million, is in the balance as the GAA continues to snub the venue.
		Not one senior intercounty game was staged at Pearse Stadium during 2004, and nearly half of the income generated by the facility came from non-GAA activity.
		It emerged last week that the financial position of the stadium would be even worse if it wasn't for a Bob Dylan concert that netted â¬121,000 of the â¬267,000 generated during the year.

		Galway County Board officials have expressed their concern over the loss of Eur50,000 for the use of Pearse Stadium during 2004.
		The redeveloped venue was the cause of a debate at the annual convention held in the Oyster Manor Hotel last month after the GAA had spent Eur12 million on the Salthill project.
		The majority of income raised during the year at Pearse Stadium was brought in by a Bob Dylan concert held at the grounds, believed to be over Eur120,000.

		Could work in the favour of all by fixing stadiums together and forgetting this bureacratic rule which you guys are talking about.
		I think the main reason for this is that all the rugby fans are on the east coast, from Woollongong to far north Queensland, whilst the AFL fans are mainly in the other states, i.e., not NSW and Queensland.
		swansea's new stadium (i wish theyd call it something else!) is state of the art, and would be suitable for games of the magnitude we are talking about.

	Waterford sports - hurling, football, gaa scores, sports coverage
		What ever it is about Pearse Stadium Galway, but there always seem to be an influential breeze present whenever Waterford hurlers appear in that particular Western arena.
		It was the same again last Sunday, and the homesters having the advantage in their favour had just the perfect start with their first of eighteen points coming from the stick of “will o’ the wisp” Kevin Broderick, and it proved a lead never subsequently relinquished.
		Sunday’s result from Pearse Stadium, coupled with Clare’s surprise and comprehensive 2-13 to 1-8 victory over Kilkenny at Nowlan Park, means that Waterford must now beat the Banner county side by at least five points in order to qualify for the second lucrative stage of the Hurling League in April.

		In fact, a G. stadium would be more likely to host a rock concert, a hop-step-and-jump race, a Ku Klux Klan rally, a convention of one-legged Javanese polevaulters, a synchronised swimming tournament, a mushroom-picking contest, or a gigantic cook-out than, say, a soccer game.
		In my college days there was some speculation that Van the man might play a gig in Pearse Stadium.
		Most likely the Pearse Stadium committee will go their way, and Bob will go his.

	The Kingdom - 2003/02/19: The West awake as Kerry slumbers
		Having followed the re-building of Pearse Stadium closely, I was anxious to see the project for myself, and, needless to say, I was not disappointed.
		One of the ideas explored was the erection of a new stadium close to the city but the cost of development land near the city centre proved far too expensive and so the spotlight fell on the now almost derelict Pearse Stadium.
		The management of the stadium is under the capable hands of former Galway hurling star Joe Connolly who can rightly take pride in what is a fantastic feat and is something that the sports mad people of Galway city can feel rightly proud of.

		Since the 1960s, GAA has allowed its flagship stadium, Croke Park, to be used for International rules football â€” a compromise between Gaelic football and Australian rules â€” in matches between Ireland and Australia.
		The nationalism of the GAA made its members and clubhouses particular targets for loyalist terrorists during the Troubles and up to the present-day.

		Defeat at Pearse Stadium in an epic National Football League semi-final replay means the Red Hands are now not faced with another competitive game just a week before their Ulster Championship preliminary round clash with Derry.
		And while their absence from the NFL decider against Kerry eases the concerns over picking up injuries, Harte was bitterly disappointed at his side's defeat in Sunday's classic extra-time encounter.
