[@lawrenceporter8389]

College football in the US is technically amateur and several of their stadia are larger than Croke Park. It’s a somewhat dubious claim anyway. You could play any sport at an amateur level in any big stadium and claim it’s the biggest amateur stadium. Furthermore, isn’t professional sport technically banned in communist North Korea so that stadium in Pyongyang trumps Croke Park.

[@johnenright]

@@lawrenceporter8389 Hi Lawrence, American football is not an amateur sport nor are American Colleges amateur. I do see your point but I think that the american college system is a well know stepping stone to the NFL and therefore could not be considered 100% amateur. The GAA that runs and owns Croke Park are a completely amateur organisation - there is no professional equivalent of the sport anywhere in the world. The stadium has been built and maintained by the members, gate receipts and government grants. It is widely recognized as the largest amateur stadium in the world. peace!
