The Showgrounds has been home of Sligo Rovers F.C. since the club was formed in 1928. The Showgrounds was leased until 1968 when it was then purchased for Sligo Rovers by a trust foundation representing the people of Sligo. Under the terms of the purchase it can never be mortgaged, sold or used for any commercial purposes other than sport and leisure. The Showgrounds is a 12 acre (49,000 m²) site with the stadium capacity around 5,500 with 2,400 seats. In November 2001 the new main stand was opened to the public for the League Cup fixture with St. Patrick’s Athletic. The stand presently accommodates 1500 seats, although there is available capacity for further seating. It has been built in cantilever style to ensure there is no obstructed view.
