It may not be the first place that most supporters think of visiting to see the beautiful game, but Belfield is fast becoming the home of eye-catching football - in Ireland at least.
The Dublin 4 venue is where UCD call home. Having defied expectations by winning the First Division last year, the Students are continuing with that trend since returning to the top flight as they sit comfortably in mid-table after 14 games.
Martin Russell's side started the season with a stunning 3-0 win away to Drogheda United and have gone from strength to strength since.
Normally set up in a 4-3-3 formation, Russell encourages his players to break fast, link play with short passes and move forward and backward as a unit. It's impressive to watch, especially for a team with the average age of just 20 years old.
First-team coach Aaron Callaghan told the Irish Mail On Sunday that they have no intention of ditching their Barcelona-like approach - even if other teams resort to long-ball or hard-hitting tactics.
Callaghan, who previously managed Longford Town, is not surprised with how they have fared so far this season, but reckons the low expectations that rival teams and the media set for the Belfield outfit helps.
'People don't see the amount of training that we do. We have three sessions per week and then the lads have their high performance classes, which are compulsory,' said Callaghan.
'The infrastructure at the college enables us to do things that other teams wouldn't have access to.
'But we know that they can improve and I think they can go up another two or three levels before they are the finished article.'
It has taken time, but members of the media along with opposition teams have finally started to change their opinions on the Students.
This is due to the results that they have picked up in their opening 14 games. But 21-year-old striker David McMillan think the signs were there from last season that they could surprise the 'bigger' teams.
'It was difficult to gauge at the start of the season how we would do, but our performances have been good and we are pretty happy,' said McMillan.
'I think we've surprised other teams this year, but we always knew that we were capable of matching the bigger teams. We showed that when we played Galway United in the cup last year and beat the likes of Sporting Fingal and Shelbourne.
'It is great to play against teams like Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians so we can show what we can do.'
The Templeogue native has just finished his third year of studying architecture at UCD and is handling the balancing act of being a full-time student and part-time footballer. He has featured in every league game and his four goals make him the third-highest scorer for Russell's side.
'We didn't set any targets at the start of the season, so it is nice to be in the position where we are as it is a good bit above Drogheda United and Bray Wanderers at the bottom,' he said.
'There hasn't been any special talk between the players or anything like that. We've just gone out and played our football, which Martin [Russell] encourages us to do.'
Having only been promoted to the League of Ireland in 1979 UCD have been playing catch-up for a long time and success has to be measured in a different way for the Dublin club.
While they have twice won the First Division and lifted the FAI Cup in 1984, they normally see staying in the top flight as a successful campaign.
However, former player and current pundit on RTE's Monday Night Soccer Tony McDonnell thinks that they have the ability to clinch a top-five finish this year.
'I am both surprised and pleasantly surprised at how they have started. Most people would have thought they would be relegation fodder as they don't spend money and have an inexperienced squad,' said McDonnell.
'I even thought they would struggled to get out of the First Division last season, which I was disappointed at myself for. I should have known better.
'I think this team are one of the top two footballing sides in the Premier Division and they have started well. I'd expect Bohs and Shamrock Rovers to occupy the top two places [at the end of the season], but the next three spots could be between St Pat's, Dundalk and UCD.'
The 34-year-old is quick to praise current boss Russell, who he credits with masterminding the club's rise from the First Division and for instilling a style of play that even opposition fans admire.
'You have to give credit to Martin because a lot of managers, and I can understand why, focus on getting results rather than playing attractive football,' he said.
'The style of play that he prefers is from the Guus Hiddink or the Pep Guardiola type of framework. It is a hugely positive style of play and Martin is definitely the most positive coach I've ever worked with.
'I think the work that he is doing at UCD will be catching the eye of the bigger clubs and I'm sure they will be looking at him.'
So with the Premier League, La Liga and Champions League all finished, the place to see the beautiful game in full flow is in the UCD Bowl, where Russell's youngsters are defying expectations and overpowering opponents.
