Yesterday’s news that Cork will play their next NHL Division 1A game in Páirc Uí Rinn rather than Páirc Uí Chaoimh is good news for players but it also raises many questions. This is a welcome move given how bad the playing surface was in Páirc Uí Chaoimh last weekend. Another question ties the financial travails of Páirc Uí Chaoimh directly to the games themselves. What happens on February 16 to the premium ticket-holders who shelled out over €6,000 to see games in Páirc Uí Chaoimh? The premium tickets for Páirc Uí Chaoimh were sold in part because they provide “certainty and comfort for the avid GAA fan”, according to the publicity.
