I'm wondering this as well. Coming down from Dublin and was looking at this for parking.

I'd say no. From what I remember they only have enough for customers and there is a limit on the time you could park there.

Anyone from mayo gone through Tuam or Claregalway yet?

Really? I heard there was loads of parking there.
Driving from Dublin and was thinking of parking there. Can anyone shed light on this? Is there sufficient parking? I dont mind paying whatever the cost, just want somewhere handy to get out of after match.

Question is; with the parade going on, will crowds/traffic make it impossible to get to?

I can't be there today (flights expensive) but will be watching on gaago. Small story to remind us all (Mayo/Kerry/neutrals) of how everyone can already be proud.
Last week I watched this match in the company of 13 Polish friends of varying levels of interest in GAA or even sport. In their email invite they had the basic history/youtube of the rules etc. Some had attended a couple of training sessions over last few years, one had been at the hurling in Croke Park n Munster few years ago.
I can tell you in the second half they were gripped n genuinely thought it was the fastest most interesting sport they'd seen. They were amazed by the fans mixing, the fitness n mobility of big guys weighing 90 kg+, bravery n dedication of amateur players and especially the accuracy of kicking from David Moran first half.
All week queries were 'What's story with red card?'' 'Are you going to the replay?'.
Today I would advise all who read this to think:
1. Safe driving - it's a game calm down ye'll all get there
2. What a unique occasion not to be repeated. Soak in the new experience you might never see Gaelic Grounds again.
3. Think how far the game and news of this particular game has expanded from a Hotel in Thurles in 19th century.
4. We're the only large scale attended by the masses, amateur sport left on the planet that I know of.
5. Look around at 45000 people from two teams from all social backgrounds, some people having flown home especially for it.
Enjoy the game. After writing that will still be in good spirits if Mayo lose.
Up the GAA fair play to us all!!!

Post of the week right there ^^^

Enjoy the game wherever you're watching it.

Parked in coonagh cross; we'll be half the evening getting out of the car park I'd say!

Sunnyisland

Right I am of to watch the match, hopes it as good as game as last weeks and good luck to both teams, but slightly favouring mayo to win it.

keeponhurling

killian young comes in for Kerry, Marc o se misses out.

Gooch cooper has togged out as a sub !

Donaghy also starts

Browney7

Looks like a massive crowd on the city end terrace

GoldFour4

Atmosphere seems unreal.

Place must be buzzing.

Molester Stallone II

Horrible attempt at a point

Ompala

Mayo would be better off running at the Kerry defence, they hit too many long balls straight to a Kerry player!!!

FatRat

Mayo's silly tactics on James O donoghue will be their downfall today I reckon. They're much too worried about him.

Molester Stallone II

Very lackadaisical passing & decision making from Kerry at the moment

jive

Crowley Kerry's best player in the opening stages, getting through some amount of work.

Browney7

This is shaping up to be some battle. Scrappy and physical stuff so far

mirrorwall14

This is awful
Very scrappy and a lot of hot heads

Molester Stallone II

Disgraceful shooting here, keeping Mayo in the game

JONJO THE MISER

Terrible match so far.

kala85

Refereeing poor so far in my opinion.

FatRat

Kerry are usual insanely accurate. Strange to see JOD and geaney missing shots. I'd guess that the wind they are playing against is a big factor here.

kala85

Was it a good decision to start Andy Moran

I would disagree, he's done better than the players

kala85

Think there could be goal for Kerry soon

Say Your Number

Dreadful

Kingp35

Kerry's shooting is terrible. Shocking miss from O'Donoghue. They should be 4 points up.

JONJO THE MISER

A 2 year old would score that.

tayto lover

O'Donoghue with another very very bad wide.
Cormac Reilly will ruin this game, always has to have the limelight.

ShamoBuc

Some of those Kerry sides are just awful, can't blame the wind either.

bohsboy

Some moaning and crying from players of both sides.

FatRat

Enright should be shot for that. Jesus f*cking Christ.

Ompala

Think the ref has done pretty well so far tbh, just not a good match

megadodge

Has to be a black card, he dragged him to the ground.

fullstop

That's a yard outside!

Molester Stallone II

He should be shot for that, bad mistake from Enright, unforgivable

Say Your Number

Kerry should nearly be out of sight by now

Can O'Connor do it again?

Zzippy

No black card???

ShamoBuc

Blatant pen, great goal.

Don't mind the ref not giving a black card if it's a pen, punishment enough IMO.

FatRat

Black card brigade are out again I see. The reason he should be shot is because O'Connor wasn't even through on goal. No black card and definitely definitely no need to give away a penalty.

Say Your Number

Jaysus :eek:

JONJO THE MISER

Get the **** in:D

Molester Stallone II

Ridiculous defending, Kerry need to buck up now
