Old Crescent Rugby Football Club (RFC) moved to Rossbrien in 1974 and built its clubhouse on this site in 1985.
In 2015, the club doubled the size of its grounds to 25 acres by purchasing adjoining lands.
It was one of 19 listed venues for the 19th edition of EVA in 1994, curated by Jan Hoet (b. 1936, Belgium; d. 2014).
At this venue Marcel Biefer (b. 1959, Switzerland) and Beat Zgraggen (b. 1958, Switzerland) staged a participatory art project called The Game Must Go On (1994).
The Game Must Go On was a multi-layered project centred on a rugby match. The project involved working with the Shannon women’s rugby team to change their name to the Shannon Prophets, as well as issuing a number of gender-based prophecies in the printed programme for their match with the Old Crescent women’s team. A ’perpetual’ trophy was also created.
