Although dilapidated, Dalymount Park boasts the last remaining original piece of terrace designed by stadium architect Archibald Leitch who originally designed Anfield, Highbury and Celtic Park among many other historic football stadiums. 👍

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.
Croke Park has hosted several University of Notre Dame American rugby matches over the years. Notre Dame usually plays one game in Dublin every 4 years.
@@SportsHub948 You mean the American rugby team. American "football" is a boring, slowed down version of rugby league played in pads and metal helmets.
Notre Dame have played once in Croke Park and twice in Lansdowne Road(Aviva). Most recently last year. Only 2 of the 8 college games played in Dublin since 1988 have been at Croke Park.
@@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.

When Lansdowne Road was demolished, The GAA voted to temporarily lift the ban on foreign games being played at Croke Park as the Lansdowne tenants had no place to play. Ireland played England in the 6 nations tournament that year in a moment that defined Irish sport.
Which had the hilarious sight of one objector having a placard "No English sport on our grounds" covering his face while wearing a Glasgow Celtic tracksuit.
Slightly pedantic, but the ban on foreign games was permanently lifted it wasn't a temporary measure. Leinster played their European Cup semi final at Croke Park a couple of months ago and I believe are due to play a couple of games there next year while the RDS is being redeveloped.
Rule 27 was lifted in 1971 but even by 1991 there where still a lot of clubs around the country that wouldn't have players who also played soccer or rugby. Even now there are clubs that deliberately organise matches and training to coincide with other foreign field games.
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.
One thing about amphitheater-type venues, you can use them for boxing/wrestling/MMA, as the footprint of the "playing area" usually fits comfortably onto the stage.
Fun fact ! There was another stand in croke park now known as the ‘ Nally stand ‘ it was took away and rebuilt-built in a town in Tyrone called ‘ carrickmore’
@@TheWideWorldofStadiumsTBF it is specifically a shamrock that is meant to be a symbol of Ireland. The fact that Americans tend to use a four-leaf clover to represent Ireland instead is why the distinction is important.
at the weekend 82300 were at a game in croke park and Germany is hosting the Euros now but there biggest stadium only holds 80 000 not 82300,television of course is a different story but in terms of stadium attendance no other sports event in europe had that high attendence.
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 love these videos...which is why it is so jarring to hear "With that being said" at the start of so many of them. 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!
Thats a myth they carbon dated the rubble during one of the many revamps of the hill and found it to be from 2015.Its called hill 16 as a deliberate policy of the GAA ,because it was originally called hill 60 which was a hill in galipoli during WW1 which didn't sit well with the GAA at the time so they changed it to something more nationalist.
A few updates.Tallaght is now 10500 which is as big as it going to get as that was the target.RDS redevelopment has started and the cricket stadium won't exist much longer as they are plans to build a 15000 seater stadium at the national sports campus in abbottstown in west dublin,i don't know whether that has started yet .
The stadium in Malahide is staying when the new stadium is built, just likely will only host smaller games so doubt we'll see it with a 10k+ capacity again
@@robbiee814 I doubt it as its made up of temporary stands that are expensive to erect and dismantle,which is why they are moving.Even a smaller capacity will incur a big cost if the stands are still temporary,unless they want to build a few small permenent stands about 5000 or so capacity which i am not sure they are allowed to do as its on castle grounds.
@@Joseph13163 There’s grass banking around 2/3s of the ground which can be used without seating. They did it for the New Zealand games a couple of years ago with only one temporary stand. They don’t have enough international grounds at the moment, it’s why they’ve had to host home games in England and UAE. They’re not going to retire their best ground especially given the money invested into the playing surface a few years ago.
You left out the only national boxing stadium in the world specifically built for boxing. Yeah it’s in Dublin. The National Amateur Boxing Stadium South Circular Road Dublin also over the years has been used for concerts too and could do with a refurb as it’s quite old now. This is where Katie Taylor and Barry McGuigan won their national titles.
I am very into world stadiums, but when you called a place of worship a ‘Jesus building’ I stopped the video. Also I have been in all of the places of worship for all the major world religions. Show respect to all religions.
