Ireland seems to have the poorest infrastructure in the world

@@ciarandevaney385 how’s that?

The non natives tend to mix Ulster and Northern Ireland up

@@kennethallen3843 Yes but he didn't do it for brefni park,but then again clones is bang on the border so i suppose its easier to make that mistake looking at a map

It's Ireland, not The Republic of Ireland. Most none natives get that wrong

@@ajc5479 Eire ☘

Can we just refer to it as Ireland

The lack of support from Scotland and Wales killed the Irish RWC 2023 bid.

Honestly yea I mean think of it like this stadiums in Ireland with a capacity of at least 50,000 Croke Park Aviva Stadium That's it ... Oh and since Rugby and football would only allow seating Croke Park 69,500 Aviva Stadium 51,700 MacHale Park 25,030 Top 3 biggest stadiums only counting seating capacity

@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Oh I didn’t know that standing terraces couldn’t be a viable option for a word cup game. New Zealand held the rugby World Cup in 2011 and they had 5 stadiums below 20,000 capacity and some were non rugby stadia. If the GAA allowed their stadia to be held for the Rugby World Cup then we could definitely have sufficient numbers to hold it all across the country. Croke Park 69,500 Aviva 51,700 Casement Park (currently undergoing redevelopment to a capacity of roughly 30-40,000 Semple Stadium 24,000 Pairc Ui Chaoimh 21,000 RDS 18,500 (Due to undergo redevelopment which would bring its capacity up to 21,500

Haha good weather in Ireland. Summer only lasts 2 weeks

In theory Ireland would be an even better country if it had a roof on it@@kennethallen3843

​@@kennethallen3843Summer was last Thursday between 11:00 and 19:00

​@@kennethallen3843ah would ya stop with the drama

The GAA are dopes, in a country Where it rains they have uncovered stands.

I agree something similar to tallaght stadium is more than adequate for most counties and one 45000 capacity in munster,one 25000 in connacht ,one in leinster outside of dublin 25000 and one over 30000 in ulster.

So many of the county grounds are so dilapidated - very rough around the edges. Just doesn’t make any sense to build/maintain big grounds in each county.

Defo.

I think the idea is to build a relatively larger stadium in each provence for their respective Provence finals - Casement (when it gets built) for Ulster, Croker for Leinster, Páirc Uí Chaoimh or Fitzgerald for Munster and Pearse Stadium for Connacht. I do think from there the county stadiums need to be modernized a bit. A lot of them are run down bad and in a modern time when other countries have amazing stadiums, no one wants to come back home from somewhere like Wembley or Anfield to a ground where they're scrapping bird shit off the seats or having to queue for the only two toilets in the ground. I worry the GAA put tradition over progress when they can marry the two together to ensure a longer future.

@@immersion726 Pearse stadium is very hard to get to McHale park in castlebar is better

Hill 16 has nothing to do with 1916

@@bobbieeeee 🤦‍♂️

@@callaghanforde1377 Prove me wrong

@@bobbieeeee Hill 16 was built with rubble from building during Easter rising

@@callaghanforde1377 it wasn't. It was there already and was called hill 60. Which they later renamed hill 16 in tribute to the rising. Jesus at least research the subject before trying to argue with me.

For your visit.... the stadium is pronounced Park EEEE Cweeve!! 😀

Is that not going to be in Musgrave Park?

@@Doniedaff nah, pairc ui chaoimh suits better for such a heavyweight tie. A full house of 45k is far more fitting for the best of both hemispheres..

it hosted back when Lansdowne Road was being rebuilt to become Aviva Stadium. They even had to amend a GAA rule that doesn't allow "foreign sports" on their stadiums, specially Croke Park. It was either that or play in Belfast for the IRFU

@@otaviofrn_adv They could have played in belfast because rugby is organised on all island basis however ravenhill was far too small and was redeveloped around the same time so it would probably not be available even if they were willing to accet a greatly reduced capacity.

@@otaviofrn_advI thought it was only ‘English sports’ that were banned from GAA grounds (hence why college football was permitted at Limerick in the 90’s)

@@Brucetiki1 you're right. It was my mistake

Funny enough. That "foreign sports" law didn't stop a few Gridiron matches being played a t Croker back in the day.@@otaviofrn_adv

how many houses from your’s to the tracks?

Except for the fact he thinks Monaghan is in northern Ireland

​@@donalbarry8790 tbf from a monaghan man half the country also thinks that

NIL was good for the sport but jeez this recent conference realignment has really shown that the big TV companies simply own the sport...

The GAA has something similar players to NIL,but the definition of an amateur sportsperson is that they don't get paid to play and they don't so they are still amateur.However the potential of it changing for college footballers is much greater than for GAA players because ireland has only 7 million people (all island) therefore doing professional is much less economically viable.

@@gallowglass2630 even with population and professional viability taken into account I would still say that the GAA (at least football and hurling) are more likely to turn professional than the NCAA (college football at least). The GAA is the premier gaelic games organisation, the NCAA however isn't the premier football organisation and I think that's the big difference... Universities simply can't pay salaries for college sports, it wouldn't work.

Jesus, it's Ireland, not Republic of Ireland!

The FAI have a lease with the IRFU to use Lansdowne Road rugby stadium for their international matches, so they're stuck there. The biggest soccer stadium in FAI jurisdiction, Dalymount Park, is only about 5k capacity. So no point in the FAI even asking as, outside most internationals, they don't need anything bigger.

Sligp rovers near me get an average 3000 in their stadium which has a capacity of 4000 if they were to move to the GAA grounds 17000 the average would be the same.3000 proportionally spaking is as good a crowd as you are going to get since thats tenper cent of the towns population.For example a game between two northside teams in dublin shelbourne and bohs operate in a catchment of 136000 people so the most they are going to get is about 13000. plus many of those stadiums have no LOI clubs near them anyway.

Health and safety reduced it down 29000

@@gallowglass2630 true for you, ...back in the 90s and 2000s never a problems with well in excess of 30K ..Today's 2023.. seems to be the case that you need 10K empty seats

Park ee kweev?

It's in the republic, no such place as the south

@@donalbarry8790 Jesus, it's Ireland, not the republic

No it's definitely the republic, and definitely no place called the South, you have the republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland that's it

@@donalbarry8790 You must be a west brit, to not know there is no country on this planet called the republic of Ireland. It's inexcusable for an Irish person not to know the name of their own country.

Vmt.

There's nothing better than standing on a terrace with a beer in your hand watching the game.

That was the capacity but ithas probably been greatly reduced by health and safety except for croker and PUC all the stadiums on this list had far higher capacities 10 years ago yet they are the same stadiums more or less.I remember reading that the issue with O' Moore park is more about the capacity of portlaoise on match day than the stadium itself

AVIVA is not a GAA stadium its for rugby and soccer and due to the dimensions standard gaelic football and hurling couldn't be played,there whereas the reverse is possible and has happened in the past and recently.

GAA - Gaelic Athletic Association

On the provincial ground question not for long

They are 32 county GAA Stadiums and most of them over 10 000

It's in Slovenia dude
