THE RDS WILL be renamed the ‘Laya Arena’ when the stadium’s redevelopment is completed next year.
Following a €52 million redevelopment programme, primarily of the Anglesea Stand and Grandstand, Laya Arena now boasts a capacity in excess of 20,000.
The announcement was celebrated today with a special event held within Laya Arena’s brand-new dressing rooms, with rugby greats Johnny Sexton, Linda Djougang and Garry Ringrose amongst those in attendance.
Reflecting on the news, Shane Nolan, Leinster Rugby CEO, said: This is a hugely significant day for Leinster Rugby as we move ever closer to a return to the RDS, our home stadium since 2007, and indeed for many years ahead.
