Anyone been to Croke Park (Dublin) before?

Hey, as those who use the canaries.co.uk message board too may know, I''m going there next week to see Westlife -  in 8 days in fact.... Being in Ireland it''s more hopeful than anything else, but has anyone been there?  For whatever, but moreso for a concert as I''d like to know where the wheelchair area might be, as from my tickets I haven''t got a clue!

Cheers in advance.

The normal wheelchair access (don''t know about concerts because I have only been for sport) is right at the back of the Davin Stand and also there are wheelchair spaces at the back of the Cusack stand.

That''s for sport - give them a ring 353 (0)1 819 2300 or email them at info@crokepark.ie in case things are different for concerts.

The Gaelic Football Museum is at the back of the Cusack stand and is really worth a look if you have the time.

Have a lovely time in my home country and enjoy yourself.  It''s a lovely stadium.

Indeed, I love Ireland I can''t wait to go (been twice before) and have seen Croke in the distance when I was on the Dart once.

Thanks for the info camuldonum, I might well check that museum out.

Ive been to 2 concerts there and getting out of the stadium is an absolute nightmare.  What stand are your tickets for?  Hope you have a great time.  I saw U2 there and it was an amazing night the Irish know how to "rock"

Somewhere on the pitch, my ticket says G1 if that means anything.

Thanks yeah sure I will, seeing my idols (even though I''m 20 and straight) and that there''s gonna be 80,000 people there, mostly girls that I can look at!

Hi Ben, I have some pics of the Croke park U2 concert that show where the wheelchair platform was on the pitch, I don''t know if it will be the same for Westlife [+o(] or not but I will email them to you.CheersDevon

HA HA like the [+o(].  I often get things like that when it comes to them - goes with the territory though I guess.  Even though I''m straight I do have a strange thing for boy bands and similar groups.  Only problem with male singers is I can''t "look" at them, have to make do with their gfs/wives.

Croke Park is a funny place - three quarters of it is a world class stadium, but one end is too close to a railway line and so could not be developed. Presumably they put the stage at that end.
