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.
