I am sure it was just the event being unique that caused all the bad bits but overall an amazing experience! Stadium is huge! Total attendance was just shy of 75,000 for the American Football game! The sound system in the stadium is fantastic and loud. The seats are definitely skinny. We, a group of small rear people were still cheek to cheek. Also, they sold out of almost everything before the end of the first quarter!!! Merchandise was scarce, hot dogs no longer existed at all but there were plenty of drinks if you could find the right line to stand in. All in all a fantastic experience that I just assume didn't know how many hot dogs the average American could eat! TLDR: Steelers Win! read more

See all

Ok stadium from the several dozen Ive been to around the world. Was here for the U2 concert. Ive never had to walk so far to get to a point where the roads were not closed and we could either grab a taxi or Uber. Public transport to the ground is poor. A lot of toilets are available, food and beer. read more

I came here over the weekend to see U2 in Dublin. This is the second largest U2 show that I have been to at 78K. It's a baseball stadium so there was a lot of echo but manageable. Tons of room on the floor. Staff tried their best to maintain some sort of organization. The venue has never had a really big show like this, therefore, they were a little caught off guard, however, it went smoother than BC Place back home. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more

I did the Skyline Tour here in Croke Park and to be quite honest, it was absolutely brilliant! I really had a fantastic afternoon out. The Skyline Tour is a Tour around the roof of the stadium, with spectacular views over both the stadium and Dublin. You are harnessed in so there is no fear of falling. There are also 5 viewing platforms where you get some really nice bits of history of Ireland. The guide also provides you with a nice few stories of Dublin that are very interesting! The Tour lasts 2 hours altogether and I would highly recommend it.The museum downstairs is also a great stop if you have time! :D read more

What's not to love. Aside from being one of the largest stadiums in Europe, it's also one of the most modern. They do a fantastic tour of the stadium itself taking you behind the scenes of what is one of the most exciting places on earth for a fan on match day. They also do a tour on the roof of the stadium, which was good, but not quite as good as the museum & stadium tour. The museum itself has plenty of history to keep the grown ups entertained & lots of games for the young (or young at heart). There's also a cafe in the museum where you can grab a bite to eat, you could really spend your whole day here. I've also been on a match day when the organisation by staff is crucial & always works well. There are numerous bars & food stalls, including a couple of carvery spots too if you're lucky enough to find them! I've even had the experience of being here for an event when my job took us for a team building day & all round the service was excellent! read more

You can't go wrong for €20 for two games. Well I'm a GAA fan so Croke Park will always have 5 stars in my eyes read more

Croke Park Stadium - Dublin versus Galway - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Dublin, D

Pairc an Croceirgh Last year was historical in the world of rugby. International games played in Ireland were not played at Lansdowne Road due to building, but at Croke Park. Croke Park is the centre for the Gaelic Athletic Association, who bought the grounds in 1913, and here they play Gaelic Football and the Hurling. These are truly Irish sports, republican Irish sport, and rugby is regarded by some as a sport of the Empire. It is named after the first patron, Bishop Croke. In 1916, during the Easter Uprising, the British Army opened fire on a match at Croke Park and two players were killed. The British were not in their finest hour at this time, provoked as they were by the beginnings of the IRA. No rugby has been played there since 1916. Croke Park has the Hogan Stand and the Nally Stand, which has been recently demolished, in memory of the players who were killed, and Hill 16, the vantage point of the British. We were in Dublin after a Gaelic Football match, and the blood runs high for the losing team supporters. Traffic was at a virtual standstill, I drove nose to tail for more than an hour. Fans were using phone booths to use their mobiles to phone home and the tension was tangible. My companion was looking for somewhere on foot, so every time a fan stepped into the road, I gave way quick sharp - I was only able to do about 4 miles an hour. I was terrified my car would be thumped! So in 2007, when the Irish Rugby team ran out onto the Stadium history was made again. Tears were in the eyes of the G.A.A. dignitaries as they shook hands with the Irish team who were playing the English team, no less! Princess Anne was in the stadium and shook hands with these men too. A monumental day in modern Irish history. This year Croke Park was also a venue for the Six Nations, and for me emotion has been frought to see history come full circle and healing of ninety five years. Caed mile fail faud read more

A great example of what can be achieved in Ireland when we put our minds to it. I have attended sporting matched (Mayo- my team usually let me down here and have broken my heart many times), stadium tours, music concerts and business meetings. A great venue for all but the review here is to do with the stadium tour. Well worth going to see what our national sports are like and how we have developed over the years. Very informative and well produced. A good time should be had by all sports enthusiasts. read more

Only been here once, for ireland v Italy in last years 6 nations. It's a great stadium with plenty of cheap places park nearby. We parked a couple of minutes walk away in a church grounds and paid 5 euro for the whole day. Croke is easy to find, no matter which direction you come from and there's a lot of bars and eating places nearby. There are queues for everything, as in most stadiums. The toilets were basic and the sandwich stand was not the best. The bar selling hot whiskeys was well welcomed however. read more

Croke Park Stadium has to be the largest stadiums in Ireland, and it has the head quarters of Gaelic Athletic Association, which is the Biggest sporting organisation in Ireland today. The stadium had a redevelopment which started in 1990. The reconstruction cost is a major £260 million also the architect who designed the stadium is Gilroy Mcmohon. The capacity of people the stadium can fit is a whooping 82,300. The croke Park Stadium is the third largest in Ireland and also te fourth largest stadiums in Europe. The stadium has hosted many concerts from likes of Tina Turner, Celine Dion, Bon Jovi and westlife too. It has also hosted boxing in 1972, the boxing match was between Muhammad Ali and Alvin Lewis. read more

Wirklich beeindruckendes Stadion in Dublin, ich habe das seltene Vergnügen gehabt nicht ein caelic game in diesem Stadion zu sehen sondern ein Konzert. Es waren die Lokalmadatoren von U2 welche 2005 3 Konzerte in diesem Stadion spielten. Das Stadion ist für Konzerte gut geeigent, wenn auch nur 3 von 4 Seiten überdacht sind und dadurch etwas die Stimmung leidet. Allgemein war es fazinierend, dass der Ire nicht so früh ins Stadion kommt und sich eher etwas Zeit lässt und noch ein Bierchen vorab im Pub trinkt. Das Stadion hatte beim Konzert ein Fassungsvermögen von 85.000 Zuschauern und diese waren natürlich auch gekommen. Die Veranstaltung war sehr gut organisiert, habe in Deutschland deutlich schlechtere Erfahrungen gemacht. Also ein Konzert in dem Stadion anzuschauen war lohnend, aber wichtiger als der Ground ist wohl der Gig :-) read more

Croke Park Stadium, needs no introduction, never did and never in my lifetime will. If you live in Dublin/Ireland, support GAA, Rugby, or soccer and have never been to Croke Park ever - SHAME ON YOU. There is nothing better than watching a live game in the Summer in Croke Park. Tickets are worth every penny. I was fortunate enough to play on the pitch when I was a young girl, I wasn't good enough for the Dublin Team (fast but too small) but hey at least I played on the most sacred ground in Dublin even if was only for a couple of hours. One of my best childhood memories ever. You haven't lived if you haven't been to a live game in Croke Park.GO! read more

Home. That one word sums up the spirit of the place for all Irish Gaelic Games supporters. I saw a Gaelic football match here and was completely overcome with the emotion that pours from the stands. The park is in the centre of the city so the walk to it will give you a real feel for Dublin. read more

This is one of my favourite places in the world - The hallowed turf! Home of the GAA & now hosts some of the most fantastic concerts. The atmosphere is something you need to experience. For a true Irish experience, you should try to get to see a gaelic football match or hurling game (if in season) read more

This place is stunning. For an amatuer sport to possess a stadium as good as this one is fantastic. It's only a few minutes walk from the city centre and as you are walking up to the place you are just in awe of it. It holds over 80,000, with some terrcing too on the hill for that extra atmospheric touch. You get a great sense of history about the stadium too just being in it. The 2 main sports played here are gaelic football and hurling but recently, due to the development of Lansdowne Road, the door was opened to football and rugby. My only criticism is when the latter are being played you are usually a bit too far away from the action as the GAA pitches are bigger. I really like coming here and will continue to do so in the future. read more
