Between deadlines and dailies I cut my week around whatever's on at the weekend. This is the reel of grounds, courts and tracks I keep circling back to, rated out of five reels because star ratings are for amateurs. Pack a coat, Dublin weather does not do continuity.

Dublin game day haunts — 4 items
Name	Venue	Sport	Address	City	My take
1Croke Park	Croke Park	Gaelic football and hurling	Jones's Road, Drumcondra	Dublin	The wide shot to end all wide shots, 82k seats and the roar still clips the mic. Five reels.
2Aviva Stadium	Aviva Stadium	Rugby and football	62 Lansdowne Road	Dublin	Slick as a final grade, that curved roof is one continuous take of a building. Four reels.
3Dalymount Park	Dalymount Park	League of Ireland football	Dalymount Park, Phibsborough	Dublin	My local edit suite practically, ten minutes from Stoneybatter and all grit, no gloss. Four reels.
4Shelbourne Park	Shelbourne Park	Greyhound racing	South Lotts Road, Ringsend	Dublin	Pure b-roll gold under the floodlights, dogs moving faster than any jump cut I've made. Three reels.
