    Just a quick question. What's the WiFi like in croke park. I might be there this w/e.

    Don't know yet if I'll actually be going in, and possibly will just be floating around the bar and outside the stadium waiting.

    Is their free WiFi easy to sign into or do they make you have passwords and jump through various hoops.

    Thanks.

    Short answer... no.

    WiFi is available or the staff but not for supporters or lay people AFAIK.

    There is actually public WiFi in Croke Park.
    I got it near the back of the lower Davin last year.
    There were two different open WiFi networks, but one was working better than the other.
    But its very patchy and unreliable.

    the public wifi in croke park is meant for use at conferences and works perfectly for when theres many 100s of people there.
    For matches it might be overloaded when theres 1000s looking to use it, but its not there to provide matchgoers with wifi.

    Well I stand corrected. I was in the Hogan for the Christy Ring Cup final when there was barely 200 people there and there was no public networks available.

    Yes, if I recall one SSID may have been "Conference" or something like that, and I was not far from the non public area of the building at the time.

    In general WIFI in stadiums is a disaster anyway, it was never developed for such deployments.
