[5] After a successful first season, the track re-opened for 1933, with significant improvements having taken place at the 'Sports Field', including a cover added to the main stand.

[8] The stadium operated through the majority of World War II and was a very popular destination, drawing in large attendances, partly due to the lack of other entertainment during the period.

[13] By 1978, the stadium required renovation and the Bord na gCon decided that improvements could only be completed with the closure of the greyhound track.

[14] In March 1998, the track was converted to sand from grass[15] but the owners and breeders were frustrated at the funding levels by the Bord na gCon.

In recent years the stadium has raced on the Friday and Saturday evenings and was also subject to criticism over attendance figures, which were distorted by TV requirements.
