It is the home of the Clare Gaelic football and hurling teams. Named after the founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association, Michael Cusack, the ground has a capacity of about 28,000 (mostly terraced). In 2006 there were media reports of substantial offers from property developers to buy the stadium and relocate it to a new 42,000 capicity site outside the town centre.[1][2] It is unlikely given current market conditions that this will happen. So far the ground has been under construction since April 2009 with new stands being put up as well as new accessibility for wheelchairs.[3][4]
