Pearse Park is a GAA stadium in Longford, County Longford, Republic of Ireland. It is the main grounds of Longford's Gaelic football and hurling teams. In December 2011, the stadium was renamed Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, due to sponsorship with Glennon Brothers, a local timber firm.[3] The ground originally had a capacity of 18,000, however in November 2011, this was cut to 8,000 for health and safety reasons.[4] Following completion of works in recent years, the capacity currently sits at 10,000.
