Dr. Hyde Park (''Páirc de hÍde'' in Irish) is a GAA stadium in Roscommon, Ireland. Built in 1969, and officially opened in 1971, it is the home of the Roscommon Gaelic football team, with Athleague being the traditional home for the Roscommon hurling team. Named after Gaelic scholar and first President of Ireland, Douglas Hyde, the ground has had a capacity of about 30,000, though that was reduced to 18,500 after a nationwide inspection of facilities by the GAA in 2011. Remedial works have since been carried out at the ground, and the capacity been set to 25,000. The ground has hosted numerous Connacht Senior Football Championship finals, regardless of Roscommon's participation. Most memorably, it hosted the 1994 Connacht Final in which Leitrim triumphed over Mayo to win their first title since 1927. Other memorable Connacht finals hosted on this ground include the titanic tussle between Roscommon and Galway in 1998, Roscommon's dramatic last gasp win over Mayo in 2001, Sligo's triumph over Galway in 2007 and it also hosted the 1978,1987 All-Ireland Under 21 Football Championship Finals and 1978 and 1981 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Finals. The ground is also home to Roscommon Gaels GAA club. It consists of four stands, one covered with seating and the other three open terraces. It is located beside the county hospital on the Athlone Road in Roscommon Town. It replaced the former home to Roscommon, St. Coman's Park, in 1969. ==See also== * List of Gaelic Athletic Association stadiums * List of stadiums in Ireland by capacity 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dr. Hyde Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
