Over the summer significant redevelopments including expanded food & beverage facilities, additional pre-match entertainment and improved access routes for supporters attending on match-days were made to Thomond Park Stadium ahead of Friday night's Guinness PRO12 opener against Edinburgh (KO 7:35pm).
The creation of a Fan Zone Plaza, introduction of the dedicated Bank of Ireland Family Fun Zone, and a new and improved Guinness Dug Out bar will all significantly enhance the overall match-day facilities and entertainment. A new Facebook event page with all updated information, photos and activities has now been set up on the MRSC Facebook page. See here for more details.
The relocation of the Munster Museum to the new Fan Zone Plaza at the Dug Out bar level and the new access routes to the main reception level will seamlessly transform the supporter's journey on match-day. The stadium's catering partners Masterchefs have also completed a significant investment in upgrading and expanding the food & beverage facilities throughout the venue with additional catering options available for the season.Over the Summer the MRSC have also installed new seating into the MRSC Bar. We wish to welcome back all our existing members and extend a welcome to our new members. The MRSC Bar is located on the first floor via door 18 in the West Stand.

The plaza will include a variety of artisan type food operators with music/entertainment managed in a secure and enjoyable environment.
