Over the years the Sportsground has hosted many other sporting events and teams, including Galway United FC, while Terryland Park was being redeveloped. It is frequently used to host Schools & Clubs Rugby provincial finals.

In 2018, Connacht unveiled plans for a €30m redevelopment of the Sportsground to turn it into a 12,000 seater stadium with the redevelopment to also include a high-performance training centre. After a delay resulting from the COVID pandemic, construction started and is scheduled for completion in 2025.

In 2024, American healthcare company Dexcom acquired the naming rights to the Sportsground, to be known as Dexcom Stadium, through 2036. Dexcom announced the acquisition to coincide with the construction of a manufacturing facility in nearby Athenry.
