Those who travel to Tralee on Sunday for Kerry's national league double header will be the first to experience the comfort of the revamped Austin Stack Park.

The Kingdom take on Wexford in hurling and Donegal in football. A raft of improvements to the stadium will also be on view.

Upgrades include a new sand carpet pitch complete with new drainage system, new 13m high goalposts, identical to those in Croke Park, and a new electronic scoreboard.

The floodlighting system has been upgraded and there is a new perimeter fence as well as concrete terracing at the John Mitchel's end.

Further improvements are planned and Kerry GAA expects to spend some €1m in total on the refurbishment.
