Dexcom Stadium holds 12,000 and is Connacht’s home in Galway, on the Atlantic coast. It is the most weather-exposed ground in the United Rugby Championship.
Dexcom Stadium capacity
Capacity is 12,000 following redevelopment of the ground long known simply as the Sportsground.
The wind
Galway’s Atlantic weather is Connacht’s most reliable advantage. Visiting sides regularly arrive with a kicking game and find it unusable by the twentieth minute.
The 2016 title
Connacht won the Pro12 in 2016 under Pat Lam, beating Leinster in the final at Murrayfield — the province’s only major trophy and the biggest upset in the league’s history.
