a trip to croke park...

before midterm we all went on a trip to Croke park. It was really enjoyable. Ive been there a couple of times but this time there was some new showings. at first we went into the meeting room and watched a film about the preperation of the all-Ireland football final, this was interesting as it wasn't so much focussed on the actual match but the preperation of it. Afterwards we went and saw the players changing rooms and the VIP area. This was pretty fun to see as it really is one of the few luxuries of the sport. After that we went to see the players dressing rooms, both dressing rooms are the exact same which shows the equality in the Gaa as in soccor stadiums the home teams dressing room is a lot more extravagant. one of the rooms that links to the dressing rooms is the training room which players can use to warm up and let out a bit of nerves. I liked that room. then we visited the highest seats which true to its name were very high and i didn't really like it as it was too high to actually see the match. Then we went to the corporate boxes which were nice but i dont like them as you dont get the atmosphere of actually being in the stadium with other people its all very excluded. to finish it of we went to the gaa museum which was fun as we played all the games! all in all it was a great day :D
