The practice pitch to the right of the stadium looks like a rugby pitch, possibly Rugby Union. Which would rule out a US location.
Looks to be a business district at the top, built on reclaimed land.

Toulouse FC stadium, also used by the Rugby Union club.
I think there is also a Toulouse RL side. Not sure if they play there as well.
There is also a racetrack in the town, called the Hippodrome de Toulouse.
Looks like it's worth a visit if you are a sport, gastronomy and wine lover.

It's dear old dirty old Dublin, and that is the Aviva Stadium...

Good spot, Mountain.
Dublin has changed a lot since I was last there. Looks like it's worth a visit if you are a sport, gastronomy and Guinness lover.

It's okay.

I liked it back in the 90s and even 00s when I could live it up, go pubbing and clubbing. Now if I have to go there, I'm nearly counting the hours until I get out of it.

The area in the photo would be one of the most expensive to live, any decent house around Ballsbridge costs a few million.

I stayed in a hotel just a few yard from the Aviva last time the Boss was in town.

Still a great place for a weekend.

👍 yes, the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

It’s only from that aerial view that you don’t see see ‘Aviva’ splashed across the seats.
