Chairman Jim Murray says Antrim intend to transform Casement Park into "a fantastic stadium".
Sunday's clash with Monaghan will be one of the last matches played at the Belfast venue before the ambitious redevelopment takes off and the County Board chairman is determined to deliver a product that will serve Ulster GAA with distinction:
"When the project is completed we will have a fantastic stadium," he told The Belfast Telegraph
"Our aim is to have Ulster championship semi-finals and finals played at Casement Park with spectators enjoying maximum comforts.
"Obviously the big challenge will be to fill the venue as often as we can but that is something that we will be prepared to tackle.
"There is no doubt that people are prepared to come out in big numbers to championship games if they feel the facilities are there for them.
"What passed for spectator accommodation even in the recent past would not come up to standard nowadays.
"People expect more for their hard-earned money and it is our intention to deliver in this respect."
