Antrim could play home games at Queen's

Casement Park Belfast
Casement Park is due to close later this year for a major redevelopment that will take up to three years. And while the new 40,000-seater stadium is being built, the Saffrons may opt to play their home NFL games at Queen's new £16m facility, known as The Dub.
While the county hurlers will play their home matches at Loughgiel Shamrocks's grounds, County Board chairman Jim Murray admits in today's Irish News that Queen's is a real possibility for the big-ball brigade:
"Once we get word that work is going to start in Casement, we're going to have to plan for not having Casement and we'll certainly look at The Dub.
"It's hypothetical, but Queen's is an absolutely fantastic facility. We will eventually move from Casement so we will have to look at all options.
"Is it possible to play at The Dub? Who knows? I was over at the ground for the McKenna Cup launch. We would have no problem considering it." Tweet
