Anybody know which way the seats run on a block in Croke Park - particularly Hogan stand.

i.e. I understand you enter by the tunnel then turn left to get to your seat. Is the first seat then number 1 or is the the highest number for that block.

So for blocks 332-336 is seat 1 closer to the halfway line than seat XY and then if so the opposite should be true for blocks 327-330 seat XY should be closer to the halfway line..

Seat 1 is generally in the middle of the block. The seating is laid out so you go in the correct side and don't have to through the entire row to discover that you seat is on the other side (I don't know how many times that happened to me in Lansdowne)

It doesn't have the actual seat numbers, just the blocks and rows which are the same all the way around (a - ww , a - z).

Just a reminder if you are unfortunate enough to have a seat in row A to about row E/F in the Davin Lower, I wouldn't even bother wasting your time going to the game, as you will be straining to watch it on the big screen.

Was unfortunate enough to be in row A (which is below the pitch!) for the French rugby game and had view completely blocked by photographers and stewards. Combined with shortened pitch dimensions it was a complete joke to actually sell these seats.

By the same token, was in about 10th row of Upper Davin/Cusack corner for Engerland game and the view is fantastic from there.

the last time i was upper cusack in croker, i could see fcuk all and that wasn't a hurling game either!!! but in fairness i think thats down to my sh1te site.

plus for those of you with a few bevvies on ye up that high, dont jump up to quick or too high if you are down at the bottom of the upper cusack!!!!

**NeilMcD** · 14/03/2007, 10:33 AM

I think the upper tiers are the best. Would you not get glasses or contacts Paul.

I have a choice between Section 720 L and 324 AA. Think I will got for 720 for one of the games and 324 for the other and compare.

I have them but they are quite expensive and i dont like to wear them incase i break them and i just dont like wearing classes, which i know if i bring them to croke park will happen

Upper ( Back ) lower cusack/lower hogan will be perfect i think for this match.

doh 336 not 326!!

Paul, being a Mayo man your better off only being able to see a blur on the Croke Park field when our lads fail to show up at an All Ireland final!!!

YOu can get disposable contacts which are great for playing ball and for heading out on the **** etc.

THis link might help with the seating plan. It's on ticketmaster.

**paul_oshea** · 14/03/2007, 12:25 PM

Hill 16 for welsh fans only........that ticketmaster site doesnt include the premium seats which makes things look a little clearer.

You hardly need classes for wearing them do you? Just put them on your nose like!

I was in the very back row of the upper stand in the corner for the France rugby match and the view was OK. The players were a bit small but you could see what was happening perfectly well.
