Turners Cross is a soccer stadium located in the city of Cork in Ireland. It takes its name from its location in the Turner Cross district.
Owner
- Munster Football Association
For many years, Turners Cross was just a field surrounded by earthen mounds where spectators stood or sat with a small covered stand nicknamed “The Shed”. Its renovation in 2009 made it a comfortable stadium where all spectators are seated and all seats have a roof.
The current configuration of the stadium is as follows:
- The “Donie Forde” stand with 1,900 seats. This stand houses the changing rooms, a press area and the stadium control and security room.
- The “Derrynane Road” stand with 1,185 seats3,4
- The St. Anne’s Stand is located to the west of the stadium and has an approximate capacity of 2,800.
- The Shed is located to the east. It has a capacity of 1,600 seats. It was inaugurated in 20075. It is in this stand that the main supporters’ clubs of the Cork City club are located
- After its 2009 refurbishment, Turners Cross is the first stadium in Ireland to have all its seats seated and covered.
