Croke Park and other places on google maps

Lord Derpington

Croke Park is now on google maps, an inside view of the stadium.

Its a pretty cool view of the stadium.
The bike they use looks pretty gammy

Whatcha talkin' bout greenfly? That bike looks savage, I'm gonna get me some with my confirmation money.

You can't go on to the pitch though, that's a bit disappointing. I was going to stand in the centre and then mail the link to that student couple that got caught riding there a few years back.

The first place I saw with pitchside view this was the 2010 World Cup Venues. All the Bundesliga venues have it now too. Nice to see other places are being included as well.

Perhaps they use the bikes only for the places the cars can't get to - like inside Croke Park.

They use cars for the vast majority of the streets don't they?

Exactly. They'd use it for a pitchside track or say a pedestrian street.

FYI English, Spanish and Italian stadiums don't seem to be done yet but you can get the German ones. Lansdowne Road and Croker have been done but none of the smaller Irish venues have it. None of the US venues appear to have been done either.

Possibly we're part of an exclusive club atm then. Hopefully they will go back and do more places in time.

Streetview only photographs places that are already accessible to the general public anyway, so that might say more about you.

The dinky stand at Lansdowne Road. €400 million white elephant designed by (or possibly more truthfully "for") an idiot.

You could be right but mark my words - it won't be long before 'googling' something takes on a whole different meaning.

hehe, meant to be quite terrifying the first few times though, like jumping off a wall in a car.
