Connacht will add extra terracing to the Sportsground for the Pro14 clash with Leinster after fans snapped up tickets for Saturday night's provincial derby.
Andy Friend's men powered past the Scarlets in Galway at the weekend, producing they type of free-flowing, expansive game they so defined during the Pat Lam era.
It left Connacht with two wins from their first four games and teed the Westerners up for a humdinger with Leo Cullen's reigning champions.
Additional temporary terracing will be installed at both the Bohermore and College Road ends of the ground, which will potentially boost the attendance to over 8,000.
Connacht took the same measure back in March for their Challenge Cup quarter-final against Gloucester.
The bigger crowd could not sway it for them then - the Premiership outfit won 33-28 - but they'll hope their passionate following can provide an extra edge against Leinster, who returned to the top of the Pro14's Conference B after a 31-7 bonus-point victory over 14-man Edinburgh at the RDS.
Cullen took did not get carried away with that result, as he prepares his men for a gruelling four weeks.
"There’s a huge amount of areas that we can get better at," he said. "For us now as coaches and players it’s to ensure that we do get better.
"We’ve a very tough fixture now against Connacht and Munster in the Aviva the week after and then we’re back into Europe.
"So the next four weeks are very, very important in the overall context of the season."
