1 Croke Park Croke Park Jones Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 P6K7 Dublin HQ. The cathedral. Nothing beats Hill 16 roaring on All-Ireland day, full stop, no argument. 2 Glenalbyn, Kilmacud Crokes Glenalbyn, Kilmacud Crokes Glenalbyn House, Glenalbyn Road, Stillorgan Dublin Home turf, literally. Spend more evenings here than in me own gaff, and I wouldn't change it. 3 Parnell Park Parnell Park Donnycarney, Dublin 5, D05 K6K6 Dublin Tight little ground, you're basically on top of the pitch. Dublin hurling nights here go under the radar and shouldn't. 4 O'Toole Park O'Toole Park Kimmage Road West, Crumlin, Dublin 12 Dublin Championship club football at its rawest. No frills, just two teams going at it like a county final. 5 Aviva Stadium Aviva Stadium Lansdowne Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 Dublin Not GAA I know, settle down, but a decent rugby or soccer night here still gets the blood going. 6 Dalymount Park Dalymount Park Dalymount, Phibsborough, Dublin 7 Dublin Grand old ground, proper League of Ireland atmosphere, like watching a junior championship match with better lighting. 7 Leopardstown Racecourse Leopardstown Racecourse Leopardstown Road, Foxrock, Dublin 18 Dublin Five minutes from the house, so no excuse not to go. Great craic even if I couldn't pick a winner to save me life. 8 3Arena 3Arena North Wall Quay, North Dock, Dublin 1 Dublin Boxing nights here have the whole place bouncing like the last five minutes of a county semi-final. 9 National Aquatic Centre National Aquatic Centre Snugborough Road, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 Dublin Brought the kids for a swim meet once and ended up more invested than at some club finals. Mad how that happens. 10 Shelbourne Park Shelbourne Park Lansdowne Road, Ringsend, Dublin 4 Dublin Greyhound racing gets a bad rap but a night here with the lads beats half the so-called sophisticated nights out in town, just saying like.
