Anyone ever do the tour of Croke Park?

Been to the museum a good few times but I've only done the stadium tour once and that was years ago. I'll definitely have to do it again this summer. All the information you need is here: http://museum.gaa.ie/page/stadium_tours.html

I did it last year and it was grand, it's just hard to get a sense of the history when you're in such a new, modern stadium with its breeze blocks and identikit furnishings.

I left feeling a little bit like I'd just been shown around a municipal sports centre. I found it hard to connect where I was with all the great players and great moments of the past as the place has changed so much, but as a tour of a well-appointed, well designed modern stadium it does the job great. You certainly get a sense of pride from it, that's for sure.

Old hurleys, dollope of independence, loads of medals and the all important trophys. Very good

Excellent tour. A great insight behind the scenes to what it takes to run a big match.
The tunnel under the stands where the team buses and VIPS come in. The dressing rooms.
The media center.
The corporate tiers.

It's what you expect for a usual stadium tour. I've done tours of Old Trafford and Anfield and neither were particularly better or worse than Croke Park.

I went with my school for history, thought it was very good. They bring you into the dressing room and they press a button gives the acoustics of a crowd on a All-Ireland football final day, makes you feel you're playing in a final, twas cool!
