Croke Park Stadium
Croke Park Stadium is located in Dublin, Ireland, and is often referred to as "Croker" by locals. It is the fourth-largest stadium in Europe and one of the most important and well-known stadiums in Ireland.
Construction of Croke Park began in 1884, it opened to the public in 1913, and underwent a major renovation in 2004. Since 1884, the stadium has been used to host Gaelic games, most notably the annual finals of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship and the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. In the 1990s, the stadium was upgraded to accommodate 82,300 spectators, making it the fourth-largest stadium in Europe. The opening and closing ceremonies of the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games were held here, and the 50th anniversary International Eucharistic Congress took place here in 2012, attracting over 80,000 attendees.
