Croke Park time for a name change.

OAilpin · 20-04-2005 3:26pm #1

With the passing of the motion on rule 42 it occurd to me that this may be a good time to offically change the name of Croke Park to Dr. Croke Gaelic Games Park. My reason for this is similar to the exposure Cricket gets when big games of any code are played at the MCG in Melbourne. Every television sports presenter will have to mention Croker by its full official name "now its back to Dr. Croke Gaelic Games Park in Dublin". Every FAI UeFa Fifa And RFU game will have the Drumcondra venue printed on their programs as This name change would help rebrand the stadium by tying the stadium to the codes?

My point I guess was to tie the Stadium Name to the Sports.

It's name and the name of it's stands and terraces, past and present, are well tied to the sport. If you know about the GAA, you'd know that. Those that do won't need to have the stadium named after the actual games, to see its significance.
