The GAA are locked in negotiations with Dublin City Council aimed at purchasing land to create a new "processional boulevard" leading up to Croke Park.
The Irish Times reports the GAA wants land owned by Dublin City Council to develop a new entrance to the stadium, complete with offices, restaurants, shops and handball facilities.
The land is currently occupied by part of the Croke Villas estate, a 1960s flat complex on Sackville Avenue which was to have been regenerated under a public-private partnership agreement with Bennett Developments.
Executive manager of the council's housing department Gerry Geraghty revealed to the paper that a "firm proposal" had been made by the council's valuers to the GAA last May and the council was expecting an answer tomorrow.
"There will be a meeting on Thursday, the 11th, to try to bring this to a close."
The GAA's plans involve the widening of Sackville Avenue to provide a boulevard or processional entrance to the stadium.
