While known locally and amongst fans as "The Cross", the ground has also been nicknamed "The Box" in the past. This accounts for the title of Plunkett Carter's book on Cork soccer, "From The Lodge to The Box", where 'the lodge' refers to 'Flower Lodge'. "Flower Lodge" was originally owned by the Ancient Order of Hibernians and was the previous home of Cork soccer. This ground was subsequently sold to the Gaelic Athletic Association, and renamed "Páirc Uí Rinn", for Christy Ring, a noted County Cork hurler.
