Galway Races - The Killanin StandThe €22 million Killanin Stand, completed in July 2007, provides accommodation for over 7,000 people with seating for 700 on the first floor balcony.
It consists of four floors. The ground floor hosts Bar, Restaurant, Tote and Toilet Facilities. The Menlo Bar & Restaurant will be situated on the first floor together with Tote, Bar and Toilet Facilities. There is also a free seating balcony off this floor for 700 patrons. The second and third floor houses the Plate and Hurdle Hospitality Suites. The feature of this stand is the panoramic views of Galway Racecourse, Galway Bay and Lough Corrib.
Speaking at the official opening, Galway Race Committee Chairman, Mr. Raymond J. Rooney said, “In providing this facility, Galway Race Committee has a two fold objective. The first was to continue with their policy of providing a standard of excellence in all facilities at Galway Racecourse to their patrons. Secondly, reward and pay tribute to the many thousands of loyal supporters who continually come to Galway Races. This new Stand will certainly fulfil both objectives. The creation of this new Stand with its elaborate facilities, will rank Galway as one of the best Racecourses in Europe.
The creation of this new Stand is the last in the piece of a jigsaw which saw developments over the past seven years in Galway Racecourse incorporating the new Millennium Stand, underground car and pedestrian pass, the creation of new weigh-room, offices and state of the art media centre."
