Dalymount Park features as the March 2010 'Site of the Month' in Boston College's Irish Sporting Heritage Project. The stadium, occupied by Bohemians since 1901, was the first location chosen for the series. Bohs supporters are thanked for providing a wealth of information to the Project.
The Project aims:
• To record Ireland’s built sporting heritage existing and historical.
• To acknowledge architectural innovation in design from previous eras.
• To celebrate sporting sites as important social spaces in the history of the island.
• To identify the sports of all traditions and social classes.
• To record all types of sporting associations: work place clubs, private clubs, school sports, professional and amateur teams, and parish, town, county and national clubs.
• To embrace those places where sporting legends were made and to record the spaces where they have been commemorated.
• To promote an understanding that sport has and will continue to play a central role in the history of Ireland and its people. |
