United Park

About United Park

If you're making the journey to County Louth to catch a League of Ireland match, you'll find yourself at Sullivan and Lambe Park, the compact home of Drogheda United that sits in the heart of this historic town. The stadium has welcomed football fans through its gates since August 1979, when Queens Park Rangers provided the opposition for its official opening, and it's been the spiritual home of the Drogs ever since. You might hear locals still referring to it by its former sponsor name Weavers Park, or simply as United Park, which reveals its true identity beneath the commercial monikers.

What awaits you is an authentic Irish football experience without the frills of modern super-stadiums, but with plenty of character and a genuine connection between the terraces and the pitch. The atmosphere on match days captures that special quality of lower-league Irish football, where you're close enough to hear the players calling to each other and feel genuinely part of the action rather than a distant observer. Whether you're a dedicated groundhopper ticking off League of Ireland venues or simply exploring Drogheda's sporting culture, this is the kind of place where football still feels like a community gathering rather than a corporate event.
