| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the history of Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, highlighting its renovations, maintenance, and turf quality. Describes topdressing, hollowcoring, and mowing techniques utilized by the stadium staff, stating that "the sharpness of mowers and cleanness of cut is an important detail that takes time and effort by the staff...to get right and maintain." Reports that in regard to field usage, "it's not uncommon for the pitch to have three fixtures a day for three days in a row." Mentions the process by which concerts are planned and put on at Croke Park and concludes that the stadium "has been one of the most prestigious and challenging projects STRI (Sports Turf Research Institute) has ever undertaken." |
