My favorite part about Richmond Park is that they have a crepe truck on-site during matches. It’s a great snack, since the beginning of the football season can get pretty chilly!

Richmond Park is the most charming ground in Dublin. It reminds me of Cork City's Turner's Cross in that it's situated within and around houses giving it a sense of inner city history.

@@Runboyrun89 it needs a new video board and a couple of updates like digital ad boards around the front of the stands, but otherwise it's very comparable to the likes of Carolina, Cleveland and Denver which all opened around the same time. Been to all of them including Croker within the last 5 years. Croke Park has narrow concourses in comparison but it's absolutely a better stadium than Washington's, another contemporary stadium with Croker.

@@RobJaskula Washington is one of the worst stadiums in the NFL. Croke Park is not good for anything other than GAA games. It cannot handle crowds of 82k very well- both in terms of accessibility and F+D. The area around it is also pretty dreadful. The GAA needed to start investing it years ago as other large bodies have but won’t.

All hail Croke Park!! It has to be one of the great stadiums in the world, a fitting venue for hosting clearly bonkers indigenous sports at the highest level - and speaking of high, you can even have a walk on the roof if you're so inclined. The other venues are great in their own way, especially the National Basketball Arena. I'd say it would be on a par with many NCAA college arenas, with or without the Hula Hoops advertising boards.

Tallaght Stadium has 10,500 seats, I was at a game in Spring and the attendance was around 10,100. The shamrock rovers have a “shamrock” on the crest but that was a good subtle joke 🤣 Tolka Park now holds 5,750 as of this season but in the past it was a 12,400 all seater stadium before it fell into disrepair. I loved the history on “Pairc an Crocaigh”, Croke Parks official name the third biggest stadium in Europe. A pity the National Boxing Arena did not make it into the video as it only holds 2,000 seats and the UCD bowel only holds 3,000 spectators. I’m not sure how much spectators the Sport Ireland National indoor arena holds but it is among the newest in Europe and pretty impressive.

I know I am being pedantic, but "With that being said" doesn't mean "I've said that, let's move on", it means something like "on the other hand", to introduce a contrasting or contradictory thought. Sorry for the pedantry...I do love the videos, for the stadiums and the dry comedy!
