In 2004, the biggest rejuvenation of the stadium was completed with the opening of the new uncovered 12,000 seater stand along with two new terraces behind both goals at a cost of €12 million.

The hybrid game was played outside Croke Park for only the second time on Irish soil, with Pearse Stadium in Galway the other previous host.
