Bar Croke park & Pairc Ui Chaoim, the rest of these stadiums could do with serious refurbishments & redevelopment. Look at the venues for the rugby World Cup in France. Every single stadium is immaculate and actually looks like a proper modern stadium. They’re using some soccer stadiums for the venues. The main reason we didn’t get the World Cup in Ireland is because we only really have 3 sufficient stadiums in terms of real quality, accessibility, seating and capacity and those are Croke Park, Aviva Stadium & Pairc Ui Chaoimh. Semple stadium at a push and maybe Thomond Park which at 25,6000 capacity is still relatively small for a World Cup stadium.
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
Brilliant video. It may be worth mentioning that there are so many uncovered terraces as Gaelic Games are primarily summer sports so are played in good weather. In theory.
3:47 Casement Park looks certain to be rebuilt - it's included in the UK & Ireland joint bid to host the 2028 UEFA European Championships, and with Turkey pulling out of that there's no rival bidder for the tournament. The sticking point has been the rising cost for the completely dysfunctional Northern Ireland Assembly, but the UK government will basically be forced to fork out and cover the shortfall.
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.
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.

A lot of the GAA stadiums arent the most attractive looking stadiums. The terracing mightn't look great but the terraces add to the atmosphere. We do have a few nice stadiums too like Croke Park and Pairc Ui Chaoimh at least.
MacHale Park is now a 42,000 all seater stadium, the largest all seater stadium outside of Croke Park! Not 25000 as wiki says as that was during renovations a few years back
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)
There's no club called Kilkenny, Kilkenny is a county. All these stadiums belong to counties, not clubs, though club finals are typically held in the biggest stadium in their respective counties.
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.
Kilkenny is a county, not a club. And Clones is in Monaghan, one of the three Ulster counties that isn’t in NI (the others being Cavan and Donegal). And to the idiot that asked about the Aviva, it’s not a GAA stadium.
@@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

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.
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.
