A crowd of 40,000 is predicted for today's Leinster SFC final between Dublin and Laois.
Dublin's dominance has led to a significant fall in Leinster SFC attendances in recent years, although their final clash with Kildare last year drew a bigger-than-expected crowd of 66,734.
A decade ago, a whopping 80,131 attended the Leinster decider between Dublin and Wexford, but the figure had dropped to 38,855 (the lowest for a final since the 2004 Laois-Westmeath replay) for the 2016 final meeting of Dublin and Westmeath.
